LibGDX Box2DLights throws error on render

Question

I am trying to get a Box2D PointLight to render on the screen, but upon rendering, it throws an exception. I have revised the API and the Box2D User Manual, as well as watched videos on the topic, but have yet to find a solution to my problem. Here is my code and the error.

package com.mygdx.test;

import box2dLight.PointLight;
import box2dLight.RayHandler;

import com.badlogic.gdx.ApplicationAdapter;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL20;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.OrthographicCamera;
import com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector2;
import com.badlogic.gdx.physics.box2d.World;

public class Test extends ApplicationAdapter {
    /** the camera **/
    OrthographicCamera camera;
    RayHandler rayHandler;
    World world;

    @Override
    public void create() {
        camera = new OrthographicCamera(48, 32);
        camera.update();
        world = new World(new Vector2(0, -10), true);
        rayHandler = new RayHandler(world);
        new PointLight(rayHandler, 32);
    }

    @Override
    public void render() {
        Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
        world.step(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime(), 8, 3);
        rayHandler.setCombinedMatrix(camera.combined);
        rayHandler.updateAndRender();
    }

And the error:

Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.glutils.FrameBuffer.getColorBufferTexture()Lcom/badlogic/gdx/graphics/Texture;

Answer 1

I had the same issue with a newly generated libgdx project, however updating the box2dlights version from 1.3 to 1.4 solved this error for me.
