Java 17 incompatibility - `UnsupportedOperationException: class redefinition failed: attempted to delete a method`

👋 I wanted to give Paparazzi a try and I after first couple of bumps I think I got into a point I can say I have proper setup. Which: a) if used with default theme - records png file with placeholder over places where material views should be b) if used with Material Theme - results in https://github.com/cashapp/paparazzi/issues/380 So I assume that’s expected at this point. The results above I got only after downgrading Java to previous LTS version (11). If I use current LTS (17) I get:

Looking at your CI config you don’t support anything above java 15. I couldn’t find the stack trace nor issue mentioning java 17 so I thought it’s worth reporting here.

This is something I already tried, and it was promising at the beginning making the test to pass. It even created a report in build directory. But I made some minor changes and subsequent executions failed. I reverted to the same code but since then I always got that error. No matters what I do, still happens the same.

Right now I have changed my JDK to JDK 17 with no luck. After that I also changed my kotlinOptions and compileOptions to also use VERSION_17, and again: fails

Try running from terminal. Android Studio might still be using JDK > 11 for its runtime. That’s what worked for me.
