OutputStreamWriter - The method getBytes(String) in the type EmulatedCharset is not applicable for the arguments (char[], int, int)

[Freddy Boucher]

Hi all,

I've just created a new GitHub ticket: https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9682

But maybe it's better to discuss it here so here is a copy:

GWT version: HEAD-SNAPSHOT

Hi, since today I get the following compilation error in my Jenkins-like environment (Github Actions):

So it occurs when running my GWTTestSuite that is part of my build process.
I guess, it's related to the recent change on GWT head: ba037e1

My Github Actions uses JAVA_HOME: /opt/hostedtoolcache/jdk/8.0.252/x64
I can also reproduce it in local (openjdk version "1.8.0_252").
