Android: Gradle error (gradle build -> NullPointerException) when building Java code for 1.8 target on JDK 10 [duplicate]

Question

I get the following error when running gradle build for a project containing the following compilation options :

compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 }

Configure project :project

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':project'. java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

The same project builds fine when using JDK8 with the same gradle version. Any idea of what may have gone wrong as the exception is not really explicit?

Environment: Gradle 4.10 Build time: 2018-08-27 18:35:06 UTC Revision: ee3751ed9f2034effc1f0072c2b2ee74b5dce67d Kotlin DSL: 1.0-rc-3 Kotlin: 1.2.60 Groovy: 2.4.15 Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.11 compiled on March 23 2018 JVM: 10.0.2 ("Oracle Corporation" 10.0.2+13) OS: Linux 4.4.0-17134-Microsoft amd64

Android settings:

compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
}

Full stacktrace:

Configure project :project
/usr/lib/jvm/java-10-oracle

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':project'.
java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)



Exception is:
org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException: A problem occurred configuring project ':project'.

Do you have Java 10 installed at your computer? Did you set the JDK 10 in Android Studio Settings? — Juanjo Berenguer

As I mentioned above, this is what I am using for the jdk: JVM: 10.0.2 ("Oracle Corporation" 10.0.2+13) OS: Linux 4.4.0-17134-Microsoft amd64 — Adrien CABARBAYE

I am not using Android Studio to do the build and the same build script works fine when using JDK8 — Adrien CABARBAYE

Sorry guys, but this is NOT a common-or-garden NPE problem. It looks like a bug in Gradle that is triggered by a configuration problem of some kind. — Stephen C

It is a Gradle bug: a regression cause by a change to Java in Java 9.

https://issuetracker.google.com/u/0/issues/72872257

This is fixed in Android Gradle Plugin 3.2.

Prior to that, the workaround is to add android.enableD8.desugaring=true to your gradle.properties.

It looks like it is a similar problem to the one encountered there: Faced with `org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException` error on my `gradle build`

The workaround proposed in https://issuetracker.google.com/u/0/issues/72872257 i.e. set android.enableD8.desugaring=true in gradle.properties seems to do the trick.
