Variable does not exist Error

I'm new to VisualForce.  I've been following the tutorials, but I can't for the life of me get this variable declared properly it seems.  Anyone have an idea why it would think that opp doesn't exist as a variable?

 

 

public class RevenueProjectionController {
        public Opportunity opp { get; set; }
        
        public RevenueProjectionController()
        {
            opp = new Opportunity();
        }
        
        public static List<Opportunity> getEvents() {
                
                return [SELECT Id, Name, Account.Name 
                        FROM Opportunity
                        WHERE Event_Date__c >= :opp.Event_Date__c
                        ORDER BY Probability, Event_Date__c];
        }
        
        
        static testMethod void testCases() {
                List<Opportunity> test = new List<Opportunity>();
                test = getEvents();
        }
}

Your static method getEvents is trying to access a member variable.   It can't do that.   You need to make it nonstatic, and create an object in the test method to invoke it on....
