Description

I am attaching a sample project that will simply print Hello on console. JDK target is set to 11.

Project can be run using command

./gradlew clean run

When running project with JDK11 it will successfully print Hello to console

But when running with JDK17, it fails with error

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.StringBuilder.substring() is applicable for argument types: (Integer, Integer) values: [0, 5]
