I have been having an issue with the minecraft launcher, meaning when I click play this error pops up

I have no idea how to fix it.

We need to see what is in your Launcher Log, which can be found on the second tab of the launcher.
First, copy all of the text (right click on any empty space, press 'Copy All Text'). Then, paste the text you've copied in spoiler tags in a reply.
