ktLintFormat fails with an error: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' (macOS w/ Apple M1 chip)

Installed ktLint on my Android Studio project but when running I get the following error:

> Task :app:ktlintFormat FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:ktlintFormat'.
> Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I'v found some places talking about a wrong version of Java installed to satisfy ktLint, but it's from last year and I'mm already using a newer version of Java the what was suggested. F.eks. this thread: https://githubmemory.com/repo/pinterest/ktlint/issues/1227

Here is my ktLint.gradle file which is quite standard:

configurations {
    ktlint
}

dependencies {
    ktlint "com.pinterest:ktlint:0.43.2"
}

task ktlint(type: JavaExec, group: "verification") {
    description = "Check Kotlin code style."
    classpath = configurations.ktlint
    main = "com.pinterest.ktlint.Main"
    ignoreExitValue = true
    // create html report for CI and plain report for terminal report
    args "--android", "--color", "--reporter=plain", "--reporter=checkstyle,output=${buildDir}/reports/ktlint-results.xml", "src/**/*.kt"
}

task ktlintFormat(type: JavaExec, group: "formatting") {
    description = "Fix Kotlin code style deviations."
    classpath = configurations.ktlint
    main = "com.pinterest.ktlint.Main"
    args  "-F", "src/**/*.kt"
    jvmArgs("--add-opens", "java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED")
}

And the Java version:

java version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)

Hardware:

macOS Monterey 12.0.1
Apple M1 chip

Gradle 7.3.3


Configure your ktlintFormat task to include jvmArgs("--add-opens", "java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED"), works for me with with JDK 17.0.1.
