compile-testing: generateSources cannot find JavacTool

When I have ....generateSources(JavaFileObjects.forSourceString("HelloWorld", "public class HelloWorld { }\n")); I get an error (see below), this is true even if I use forResource(String) for a file I used in the source list to ASSERT.about(javaSources()).that(...). Everything else works, it seems to be some sort of configuration issue.

ERROR!
