error-prone: NullPointerException in 2.1.1 in Android compilation

I can’t see an obvious check that’s failing here. This is compiling an Android application.

3 warnings
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_112-release). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

Android Studio is switching to 11 because the platform on which it’s based, IntelliJ, switched to only offer 11 in 2020.1. Previously you could run either on 8 or 11. Because AS will solely run on 11, this means the actual build system (usually referred to as AGP, that is, the Android Gradle Plugin) will also need to fully work on JDK 11.

For what it’s worth, I’m using JDK 14 for Android builds and it’s actually working fine today for the most part. It’s third-party tools that sometimes break because of the increasing VM restrictions on reflection. What doesn’t work is using a source version higher than 8 because Android builds rely on the bootclasspath which doesn’t exist anymore once your source version is 9 or higher. That, too, will be mitigating by switching to a module for at least the framework APIs.

The issue remains present with Android Studio 3.1.0-beta2, the new Android databinding compiler, and errorprone 2.2.0. Errorprone seems incompatible with databinding, for all versions after 2.0.19. Is there any plan to change this?

This should be reopened. As I mention in the referenced issue I see the same problem on an Android project regardless of using Java 7 or 8. It’s a matter of using errorprone 2.0.19 vs. 2.0.20.

Minimal sample project for reproduction here: https://github.com/bubenheimer/errorpronebug

A few more details in the referenced issue.
