PluginException: Cannot create extension (class=nl.hannahsten.texifyidea.LatexErrorReportSubmitter)

[silvio201]

How to reproduce the exception

After updating the plugin today, I get the error below when starting IntelliJ and I cannot use LaTeX anymore.
Please help, I really rely on this plugin.

Fyi: a manual reinstallation of the old version (0.9.7) fixed my issue.

Thanks for reporting this! I have seen a similar stacktrace before, in #3657, but I did not know that it had any impact.

The stacktrace is really helpful but also confusing. Could you upload your idea.log file here as well? (Help > Show Log ...)

I cannot use LaTeX anymore

What exactly did not work, before you reinstalled?

[silvio201]

idea.2.log

I see a Java version error in the log file.
The entire plugin did not work for me, so .tex Files would not be recognized as LaTeX files and additionally when I went into the settings, the LaTeX section did not load at all.

Thanks a lot! Indeed, now I see the actual error:

Caused by: com.intellij.diagnostic.PluginException: Cannot load class nl.hannahsten.texifyidea.LatexErrorReportSubmitter (
  error: nl/hannahsten/texifyidea/LatexErrorReportSubmitter has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0

I see IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2.4 Build #IU-242.23726.103 and JDK: 17.0.11. Version 61 is Java 17, 65 is Java 21.

If I go to Help > About it will show Runtime version: 21.0.4, which I believe is the default since 2024.2. What does it show for you?
If it shows Java 17, did you change that manually? Can you try to switch it to Java 21, and then try the TeXiFy update again? See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/switching-boot-jdk.html#switch-jdk

Thank you for your help, now the update worked and the plugin is working as expected.
