What does gradlew --help output?

Not OP but I’m running into this on Arch Linux 6.13.8 with Gradle 8.13 when using OpenJDK 24. I’ve created a new project using gradle init --type java-application and selected the default options each time.

When I run ./gradlew test the error posted by OP occurs. In contrast, ./gradlew run works.

Switching to OpenJDK 17 (using sudo archlinux-java set java-17-openjdk) makes the issue go away. This is the output of ./gradlew help when using OpenJDK 24:

WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called

Oh, sorry, I mean gradlew --version, but you already have the relevant information for your case.
Running 8.13 on Java 24 is not supported: Compatibility Matrix

Oh, I actually missed the “JDK 24” in the title, so the answer would right away have been “no”. :smiley:

Thanks for the quick replies! :+1: I was thrown off because running applications with ./gradlew run works fine using JDK 24 (also with dependencies to JavaFX and H2) but the tests just wouldn’t run.

Some things might work, some things might break.
That’s why it is not officially supported yet, not even as toolchain.
