Question

I am trying to run the tests of the kotlin code provided from here : https://github.com/ligi/ipfs-api-kotlin with gradlew

I got the error listed below. Could someone tell me what this error means ?

what task are you using? I just ran a ./gradlew clean build on my machine and it resulted in a "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" — ligi, Jan 30 '20 at 07:29
What do you mean by "task" ? I installed gradle 4.10.2 and kotlin 1.3.61. I run : gradle test — Emile Achadde, Jan 31 '20 at 08:59
My Java environment is "openjdk version "11.0.5" 2019-10-15" — Emile Achadde, Jan 31 '20 at 09:08

I was missing the following from my build.gradle:

jacoco {
    toolVersion = "0.8.6"
}

While obvious, build.gradle can inherit properties from other gradle files and for reasons I can't figure out, jacoco was passing through in to one subproject but not to another.

Thanks! Here are the [most recent versions](https://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/) of jacoco, if anyone wants them. – Brad Turek Sep 30 '22 at 22:39

Fixed this error changing Java SDK in my project from 14 to 11 and my tests started working fine.

Solution: IntellijIDEA: File > Project Structure > Project Tab > SDK adopt-opendjdk-11 (in my case for Ubuntu).

Oh! Make sure Gradle Settings are also using the same JVM!

Hope that helps someone out there.

Ensure you are using JDK-11, if using maven, ensure;

<maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>

Ensure you are using latest jacoco.

        <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
        <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.8.4</version>

The issue comes from the Java version which needs not to be too recent.

sdk install java 19.3.0.2.r8-grl

makes things ok.

After followed below steps it's working fine for me.

In Eclipse,Go to Window--Preferences--java.Right-click on installed JRE. There add an installed JDK path & remove others.

I don't see anything in the question to indicate this is an eclipse problem or that eclipse is even being used. – John Mercier Nov 11 '20 at 15:35

I had similar issue when I upgraded my jdk1.8 to openjdk11 but it was solved by updating the toolVersion = "0.8.6" (used toolVersion = "0.8.1" with jdk1.8)

Fix in my case was to download and install Java 8 (jdk1.8.0_301) and set it in Project Settings
