Spark-Scala-Intellij java.lang.IllegalStateException: After installing macOS Big Sur Update-CodePudding

I am working on Spark Scala using IntelliJ IDE, Recently I installed Scala and Spark in my local and there was system update for mac-os version, so not sure what broke it.

I am getting error when I try to build my project now, Which was working fine a day before. I checked for JRE vs JDK as suggested in other answers and I am sure that my project is pointing to JDK 1.8. Also I removed Scala and Spark from machine to make sure my machine is in same state as before. Still I am getting this error. Checked existing answers on same error, but no help.

Are you running a JRE instead of a JDK? The inline mock maker needs to be run on a JDK.

CodePudding user response：

The problem was due to mac-os Big Sur update, contrary to what I thought the root cause is (installing scala). So I solved this following this answer here at apple forum: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/666681
