Dealing with Kotlin: [Internal Error] java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

[krmahadevan]

Currently when trying to run tests from within IntelliJ against the master branch, I am constantly seeing this error. Any ideas on what to do to fix this problem ?

Kotlin: [Internal Error] java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void kotlin.script.experimental.api.KotlinType.<init>(kotlin.reflect.KClass, boolean, int, kotlin.jvm.internal.DefaultConstructorMarker)'

@vlsi @juherr - Any ideas on how to get past this?

[krmahadevan]

@juherr - Just to rule out something wrong with my IDE setup, can you please try running tests out of master branch from within Intellij and post back ?

[vlsi]

What ide version do you use?

My current project structure looked like below

In this, I updated it to use Project settings

Once this was done in the IDE, I was able to start running the tests from within the IDE. Now I don't know the rationale behind why this worked, but as long as it worked, I think am happy 😀
