Description Nicolas Falliere CLA 2020-12-18 15:49:28 EST 
Repro:
final boolean x = true;
String.format("%s", x ? "a": "b");  // Error: "x cannot be resolved or is not a field"

The problem also manifests itself if x is a static final field.
The problem disappears if the tertiary expression is not a parameter.
The problem showed up right after upgrading from 4.17 to 4.18.
