java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/vertx/lang/groovy/ConversionHelper about vertx-config HOT 15 CLOSED

@vietj do you know why we could have this ?

I will try to come up with a reproducer.

from vertx-config.

it could be that the user has not vertx-lang-groovy in the classpath but still has the Groovy jar that loads the groovy extension.

from vertx-config.

Yes, the groovy-all jar is present in my classpath but I think that I should't be forced to add an extra dependency (vertx-lang-groovy) in case of using vertx-config.

from vertx-config.

@cazacugmihai we don't enforce you to do so, let us find a better solution to that

from vertx-config.

I beleive that the ConversionHelper code is small and generic enough to be moved somewhere in Vert.x core

from vertx-config.

and the problem it tries to solve is converting object / object in a generic manner

from vertx-config.

well it does reference gstring :)

from vertx-config.

but gstring is CharSequence

from vertx-config.

I'm sure that this was not done intentionally. Thanks for your investigation!

from vertx-config.

nope, another way is to use an extension factory that tries to load the various classes

from vertx-config.

but anyway just stay tuned in this thread and be ready to try a solution to confirm it's cool for you

from vertx-config.

Sure. I'll be waiting for it. Thanks!

from vertx-config.

@cazacugmihai can you give a try ? now the generated code should not need vertx-lang-groovy anymore. I've pushed new snapshots for vertx-config (the CI should deploy new snapshots also at some point).

from vertx-config.

I'm trying right now.

from vertx-config.

Everything works fine now. Thanks!
