#1333 Error while processing Java file with Lambda expressions

[PJ Walstroem]

while running PMD through Gradle, the following error occurs

:bar:pmdMain
Foo.java - Error while processing Foo.java

works fine in 5.2.2 and 5.2.3, so must have been introduced in 5.3.0

Thanks for the bug report. It will be fixed with 5.3.1 and 5.4.0.

Meanwhile, you can apply the following workaround:

delete((String path) -> deleteDirectory(path));

This will add the type "String" to the local variable path, so that PMD doesn't run into the NullPointerException.
