java.lang.VerifyError: Catch type is not a subclass of Throwable in exception handler 132

[jorgheymans]

Hi,

Any idea what could be causing below startup error ? It has been working fine for a long time now, and i'm suspecting something in Intellij is messing things up again but no matter how much I clean the build environment or IDE and rebuild/restart I keep getting this error. Happens on 2.0.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 which makes me think some external factor is causing it.

JDK is JBR-17.0.12, latest IntelliJ 2024.3.1.1 Ultimate

I'll look into it. In the meantime, try disabling the "Instrumenting agent" in the debugger configuration.

[jorgheymans]

Wonderful, that works ! I also saw it referenced here JetBrains/debugger-agent#9

[skybber]

Btw, did you try 17.0.12-linux-x64-b1207.37 ? It's working in my case, even with enabled "Instrumenting agent"

[jorgheymans]

Indeed, that works as well !
