I am running into something that I have never see before. Maybe someone on this channel has an idea what could be going on?

I am trying to debug a JUnit 4 test with IntelliJ. Execution is handled by Gradle.

The cause seems to be:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.Test.setForkEvery(long)'
	at com.intellij.gradle.toolingExtension.impl.initScript.util.GradleJvmForkedDebuggerHelper.setupDebugger(GradleJvmForkedDebuggerHelper.java:29)

What Gradle version do you use?

The method IntelliJ tries to execute was added in Gradle 8.1

LOL

This is fun

Someone snuck in a change that switched Gradle to version 7.5.1

[dirk.dittert]

Thanks for the tip!

Anyway, it’s a bug at IntelliJ too because they do want to support Gradle 4.5+ 😅

Good to know. I'll file an issue for that.
