Uncaught exception polling for ProjectConfig.

We upgraded our readyapi test's in jenkins to out newest ready api version 3.40.2. When we run the test in Jenkins we get the next error:

We start our test with maven:

mvn -Denvironment=acc -Dprojectfile=***-readyapi-project test

We are using 

Java version: 18.0.2.1

The test is successful but we don't want the error in the log. Can anyone tell us why we get the error?

We are experiencing the same behaviour lately. So we are also interested having a fix for this.
