Running tests for a project with code coverage enabled, using jdk 8 leads to crash and build failure. java version "1.8.0-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b123) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b65, mixed mode) Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201401170001) ------------------------------------------------------- T E S T S ------------------------------------------------------- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:483) at sun.instrument.InstrumentationImpl.loadClassAndStartAgent(InstrumentationImpl.java:386) at sun.instrument.InstrumentationImpl.loadClassAndCallPremain(InstrumentationImpl.java:401) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Class java/util/UUID could not be instrumented. at org.jacoco.agent.rt.internal_9dd1198.core.runtime.ModifiedSystemClassRuntime.createFor(ModifiedSystemClassRuntime.java:138) at org.jacoco.agent.rt.internal_9dd1198.core.runtime.ModifiedSystemClassRuntime.createFor(ModifiedSystemClassRuntime.java:99) at org.jacoco.agent.rt.internal_9dd1198.PreMain.createRuntime(PreMain.java:55) at org.jacoco.agent.rt.internal_9dd1198.PreMain.premain(PreMain.java:47) ... 6 more Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: $jacocoAccess at java.lang.Class.getField(Class.java:1690) at org.jacoco.agent.rt.internal_9dd1198.core.runtime.ModifiedSystemClassRuntime.createFor(ModifiedSystemClassRuntime.java:136) ... 9 more FATAL ERROR in native method: processing of -javaagent failed Aborted (core dumped)
I think this should be filed against jacoco (unless we ship an older version with netbeans and the newer version is working fine with 1.8)
I think this issue at jacoco is relevant - https://github.com/jacoco/jacoco/issues/74 closing as wontfix, not a bug in netbeans codebase, please follow the resolution at jacoco
