Git-commit-id-maven-plugin: A required class was missing while executing pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.5:revision: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/type/TypeReference

[stephanebarbey]

Describe the bug

The following configuration works fine with 2.2.4, but will not work with the (default) 2.2.5 version.

The error is
A required class was missing while executing pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.5:revision: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/type/TypeReference

The project has the spring-boot-starter-parent (2.10-Release) as parent.

It fails with:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.5:revision (default) on project erm-onlinereporting-backend: Execution default of goal pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.5:revision failed: A required class was missing while executing pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.5:revision: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/type/TypeReference

Hi,
thanks for reporting your issue here.

I try to reproduce this case when I'm home....in the meantime the internet tells me that this could also be a problem with the JAVA_HOME pointing to the wrong directory (possibly a different installation?). Also is the problem persistent with different maven versions as well (e.g. 3.5.4)?

[TheSnoozer]

Mhhh this seems to work fine on my end, I don't really know what the problem could be.
Do you have a public link to the project?
For now please verify your $JAVA_HOME, and include the output of mvn -version (is this a mac?)

I tried to downgrade to jdk8, but it did not help. (My maven build still works with 2.2.4, 2.2.5 seems to be the problem.)

Update: I just dropped my .m2 directory and let maven reload everything form scratch, and it now builds without problem. (Only removing the pl/project13/maven directory had not helped.)

Thanks for the attention and the responsiveness, I really appreciated it!

[TheSnoozer]

Oh wow thanks for the update!
My wild guess would be that there was a corrupted jar inside your m2-folder, but that makes me wonder why maven would not validate the checksums of the artifacts....well I guess that would be a different question (e.g. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5728).

I'm glad you solved the problem and thus I think I can close this issue now. Feel free to reopen it, if you encounter this again. If you encounter any other issues or problems, do not hesitate to open a new one ;-)

[donghuantang]

I encountered a similar issue with a slightly different message: A required class was missing while executing pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.5:revision:org/eclipse/jgit/api/errors/GitAPIException. Just dropped my entire local maven repo as well and it fixed the issue. Only removing the pl/project13/maven directory had not helped either.
