Revision: 1ef1b260d39daacbf9357f9d8594a8a743e2152e
Kotlin: 1.4.31
Groovy: 3.0.7
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.9 compiled on September 27 2020
JVM: 11.0.12 (Oracle Corporation 11.0.12+8-LTS-237)
OS: Mac OS X 11.5 x86_64
Steps to reproduce :
I am not able to import JacocoTaskExtension in below kotlin class CodeCoveragePlugin
It's working fine with jkd 1.8 but not with jdk11
why am i using jdk11 ?
jdk11 is mandatory for agp 7.+ and gradle 7.+
My final goal : make it functional with agp7.+

jacoco {
toolVersion = 0.8.7
}
java { createJavaTasks(sourceSets["main"], extension) }
setupAndroidTasks(extension)
}
private fun Project.java(run: JavaPlugin.() -> Unit) = plugins.withType(JavaPlugin::class, run)
private val Project.sourceSets get() = convention.getPlugin(JavaPluginConvention::class).sourceSets
private fun Project.jacoco(run: JacocoPluginExtension.() -> Unit) = configure(run)
}

I have had a similar issue. Could you please check the listed stack trace from the console?
If it contains:
Unexpected SMAP line: *S KotlinDebug"
Then it's clear that you haven't used the correct version 0.8.7 of Jacoco, as discussed here. In my case, I still need to add the following configuration:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency {
if (requested.group == "org.jacoco") {
useVersion("0.8.7")
}
}
}
You can put it inside your project.run closure. Hope it works. If not, please share your stack trace as part of your question.
