Run with vmoptions: '-ea', error: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I need 'assert' in my code, so i set '-ea' to vmoptions, but it can not run, and give me the error: Run with vmoptions: '-ea', error: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I tried java project and maven project, both of them works well, so i guess i must be something wrong with gradle. I have tried gradle-4.10,gradle-6.5 and gradle-6.6.1, all of them went wrong.

Expected Behavior

no error

Current Behavior

error: Run with vmoptions: '-ea', error: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Context

Just new a gradle project in idea, and add a Class and a main function, just like

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        assert 2 > 1;
        System.out.println("2 > 1");
        assert 1 > 2;
        System.out.println("1 > 2");
    }

}

and add '-ea' to vm options, and the error will go out

Steps to Reproduce

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        assert 2 > 1;
        System.out.println("2 > 1");
        assert 1 > 2;
        System.out.println("1 > 2");
    }

}

Your Environment

very simple: jdk 8 or 11, gradle 4.10 - 6.6.1, nothing else

In my case with IntelliJ Idea what solved the problem was: - Going to: File > Settings (Preferencies for Mac) > Build, Execution, Deployment - Selecting for "Build and run using": Intellij IDEA (instead of "Gradle") - Same for "Run tests using" That did not explain why Gradle is displaying the warning, but that let me perform the test and progress in my work.
