Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: $jacocoAccess

When you run the following command:

gradle clean test

you might get the following exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: $jacocoAccess

JaCoCo default version (0.6.2.201302030002) doesn't work with Java 8.

You can check your JaCoCo version with the following configuration:

    jacoco {
        println toolVersion
    }

and you will get the following output:

0.6.2.201302030002

You can fix with the following configuration:

    jacoco {
        toolVersion = "0.7.1.201405082137"
    }
