Cucumber-jvm: AbstractMethodError in 1.2.5-SNAPSHOT

[dherges]

Looks like it's related to #912 #929 #937 #949 #998 et al. - got no glue what is going on except that reflection is hunting us.

Now that we've got rid of IllegalArgumentException, next one along the road is AbstractMethodError.

937 may or may not solve this. wdyt?

How to reproduce

Code being called is (StepDefinitions.java):

Given("^foo$", () -> { /* .. */ });

Stacktrace:

cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Failed to instantiate class oktesting.app.StepDefinitions

I have exactly the same issue with Oracle JDK 1.8.0_101

[brasmusson]

The Travis build command we used to build and deploy snapshots (mvn -q deploy <...> -DdeployAtEnd=true) seems to have stopped deploying a couple of months ago. Therefore was Java8 the only module to be deployed to Sonatype when I merged the Java8-fixes a couple of days ago (the Java8 module is build and deployed from a separate Travis job, and have used different commands to build all modules, but only deploy the Java8 module).

Since the Java and Java8 modules on Sonatype were of inconsistent versions, the AbstractMethodError makes sense perfectly. Now I have fixed the Travis configuration and have made sure that snapshots of all modules have been updated to the Sonatype repository.

@brasmusson glad to hear that you've sorted this issue out! I tried to find the clue in the sources by myself but failed and now I see that it even wasn't in sources. Today I was trying to upgrade our test code with java 8 style but failed. I'm excited how fast it was fixed and tomorrow I'll do a second try. Also, I suppose nothing is blocking you from publishing 1.2.5 to maven central, right?
