I had a similar situation, which was failing in both IntelliJ and maven on the command line. I went to apply the suggested temp fix (adding _root_) but intellij was glitching so bad that wasn't even possible.

Eventually I noticed that I had mis-created a package so that it repeated the whole path of the package. That meant that the directory my class was in had a subfolder called "com", and the start of my file looked like:

package com.mycompany.mydept.myproject.myfunctionality.sub1

import com.holdenkarau.spark.testing.DataFrameSuiteBase 

where I had another package called com.mycompany.mydept.myproject.myfunctionality.sub1.com.mycompany.mydept.myproject.myfunctionality.sub2

And the compiler was looking for "holdenkarau" under com.mycompany.mydept.myproject.myfunctionality.com and failing.
