Proposed fix: [JVM] UnsupportedClassVersionError 'Preview features are not enabled for X (class file version N.65535). Try running with '--enable-preview'' / preview class from another JDK release
Recommended action: Pass --enable-preview to every JVM that loads the classes (java launcher, surefire argLine, Gradle test jvmArgs) and use the same JDK feature version for compile and run; or stop using preview features.
