Description

Add breakpoint in a constructor (such as NoSuchMethodError) with this log expression:

new StringBuilder().append(s).append("->").append(java.util.Arrays.stream(Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()).map(StackTraceElement::toString).collect(java.util.stream.Collectors.joining("\n"))).toString()

This works in intellij but in vscode I get:

[Logpoint] Log message '{new StringBuilder().append(s).append("->").append(java.util.Arrays.stream(Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()).map(StackTraceElement::toString).collect(java.util.stream.Collectors.joining("\n"))).toString()}' error: Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): [The package java.lang collides with a type, The package java.lang conflicts with a package accessible from another module: java.base].

When works it should print the message + stacktrace.

I expect the error has something to do with the static java.lang.Thread implicit reference for Thread.currentThread() call. I also added explicit java.lang.Thread but same error.
