Sbt Project Compilation Error java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: O_TMPFILE - scala

Question

I have cloned sbt project and it has compiled successfully and resolved all dependencies.
But when I run it or run a clean test, it gives the following compilation error:

[error] (Compile / managedResources) java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: O_TMPFILE
There is no such file in our project O_TMPFILE.
But when i comment the following lines in my build.sbt, it works fine.
.settings(resourceGenerators in Compile += task[Seq[File]] {
documentationGenerate((resourceManaged in Compile).value, name.value, version.value, baseDirectory.value)
})
I need to understand the cause of the error and permanent fix. I have googled more than enough but it didn't solve my problem.

Answer 1

I guess that documentationGenerate uses jRuby internally, and jRuby has problem with java 11 (not sure if case here). My proposition is to run sbt using java8 and see what happens.
