class file for java.nio.file.Path not found

Question

I'm using org.assertj:assertj-core:3.6.2 to test my android project. According offical ducoment, I should use java 8 with assertj 3.x.

Here is my test class, I'm trying to verify when the click performed the code can start expected activity.

import android.content.Intent;

import org.assertj.core.api.Assertions;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.robolectric.Robolectric;
import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner;
import org.robolectric.Shadows;
import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;
import org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowActivity;

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21)
public class LoginActivityTest {

    @Test
    public void testBtnLogin(){
        LoginActivity loginActivity = Robolectric.setupActivity(LoginActivity.class);

        loginActivity.findViewById(R.id.btnLogin)
                .performClick();

        Intent expectedIntent = new Intent(loginActivity,MainActivity.class);
        ShadowActivity shadowActivity = Shadows.shadowOf(loginActivity);
        Intent actualIntent = shadowActivity.getNextStartedActivity();
        Assertions.assertThat(actualIntent).isEqualTo(expectedIntent);
    }
}

But when I run test, I got this error:

:app:compileDebugUnitTestJavaWithJavac (Thread[Daemon worker,5,main]) started.
:app:compileDebugUnitTestJavaWithJavac

I searched on google and found it might cause by the wrong version of java( I'm really really not sure about that).

Here is some information about my java config:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)

$ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_112


$ update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      auto mode
  1            /home/java/jdk1.8.0_112/bin/java                 300       manual mode
  2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      manual mode

And in project structure, I alse set JDK to jdk1.8.0_112

If it was caused by the version of java, what should I do? If not, then what should I do ?

ejohansson is right, it might not be super visible but org.assertj.core.api.Java6Assertions is mentioned in http://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/assertj-core.html, I'll try to make it clearer in the future (https://github.com/joel-costigliola/assertj/issues/63).

Documentation has been updated, hopefully it will be easier for android developers to find the correct assertions entry point: http://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/assertj-core.html#android
