Upgrading GSON version from 2.9.0 to 2.11.0 #817

Description

@ahmedmuhsin

Context
When we upgraded from GSON 2.9 to 2.11, certain code paths that rely on reflection (especially on Java 17+) began throwing InaccessibleObjectException. This most commonly happens when GSON tries to serialize internal JDK classes or Throwable objects.

User Workarounds

  • JVM Flag: Add --add-opens java.base/java.lang.module=ALL-UNNAMED to the JVM startup parameters.
  • Custom TypeAdapter: Write a TypeAdapter for Throwable (or any other internal class) to avoid default reflection.
