Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 into bytecode that is being built with JVM target 1.6

Question

When trying to run the Example CorDapp (GitHub CorDapp) via IntelliJ, I receive the following error:

Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 int

Answer 1

If using Visual Studio Code** with Kotlin extension, go to the plugin management Crtl + Shift + x, type kotlin and click on manage (the little gear) >> Configure Extension Settings

on Kotlin >> Compiler >> Jvm:Target - type the java version. In my situation just typed 1.8

And then restart :-)

** vscode or just 'code' for linux
