Trying to get getView().getTitle() to work

Question

I was first using only getTitle() for this but then found you need to use getView() as well. So i did but I stil can't get it to work.

FYI This is the error : Cannot resolve method 'getView' in 'Inventory'

I tried changing getInventory() for InventoryView() but still the same error but also the Cannot resolve method 'InventoryView' in 'Chest' error so this means I cant get the inventory view from a block?

@EventHandler
    public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
        Action a = e.getAction();
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        ItemStack hand = e.getItem();
        Block clicked = e.getClickedBlock();

        if (a != Action.PHYSICAL) {
            assert clicked != null;
            if(clicked.getType() == Material.CHEST){
                hand.getType();
                Chest chest = (Chest) clicked.getState();
                Inventory inv = chest.getInventory();
                if(inv.getView().getTitle().equalsIgnoreCase("Test")) {
                    p.sendMessage("Event triggered");
                    e.setCancelled(true);

                }


            }

        }
    }

I want to be able to detect the name of a chest so i can open a gui — Kelvin Hollander, Jun 25 '22 at 16:04

I have figured it out after searching on around 100 sites I found a solution that works, I don't know if it's the best solution but good for me.

I changed the whole event to use InventoryOpenEvent insted of PlayerInteractEvent.

Here is the full code :

@EventHandler
    public void onInventoryOpen(InventoryOpenEvent e) {
        Player player = (Player) e.getPlayer();
        if (e.getView().getTitle().equals("Test")) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
            player.sendMessage("Succesfull");
        }
    }

Here is the code stripped down :

@EventHandler
    public void onInventoryOpen(InventoryOpenEvent e) {
        if (e.getView().getTitle().equals("Test")) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }
