Issue after Switching back from Java 17 to Java 8

by

My Current workspace was running with Java 8 with the Gradle version -“4.7”. Later I upgraded to Java 17 in the same workspace with an upgrade in gradle 7x version with other libraries. Now I am switching back to Java 8 again on the gradle version – “4.7” and hitting with below issue. I understand some class file or some lib settings has been disturbed. Can someone please assist with this?
I have already done the “invalidate caches”, removed the .gradle, .idea, and build folders.

./gradlew npmInstallDefault –stacktrace

Thank you in advance.

    I don’t know if you are using a version control system, but once you solve this issue, you should use different branches for different java versions

    – 

  • Please check stackoverflow.com/q/69637244/18157

    – 

  • Why downgrade Gradle? Why not keep the latest Gradle but target your build for Java 8?

    – 

  • @MauricioGraciaGutierrez – yes I will keep difference branches fo different java versions after this is solved.

    – 

  • @JimGarrison – In the link shared- we are adding a lib, think – switching back should not be dependent on adding any libs.

    – 

When you read an exception message, always look for the final Caused by: message. This is the root cause, and the other parts of the stack trace show you why the code that throws that exception is being called.

Your root cause is:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.lang.Class sun.misc.Unsafe.defineClass(java.lang.String, byte[], int, int, java.lang.ClassLoader, java.security.ProtectionDomain)'
        at org.gradle.internal.classloader.ClassLoaderUtils.define(ClassLoaderUtils.java:104)
        at org.gradle.model.internal.asm.AsmClassGenerator.define(AsmClassGenerator.java:58)

So the version of gradle you are using is trying to call a method which doesn’t exist in the version of Java you are running with.

As the question Jim Garrison linked to points out, that method was removed in Java 11 (https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8193033).

So if you want to use grade 4.7 (I don’t know why you’d use such an old version) you will need to use Java 10 or earlier.
