Problem Description

A generated MP project using the helidon cli fails to build with this error:

src/main/java/module-info.java:[12,25] duplicate requires: jakarta.xml.bind

When the above error is resolved manually, it results to another build failure:

Errors: FileServiceTest » IllegalArgument WELD-001408: Unsatisfied dependencies for type Tracer with qualifiers @Default
at injection point [BackedAnnotatedParameter] Parameter 1 of [BackedAnnotatedConstructor] @Inject io.helidon.microprofile.telemetry.HelidonTelemetryContainerFilter(Tracer, Config)
at io.helidon.microprofile.telemetry.HelidonTelemetryContainerFilter.<init>(HelidonTelemetryContainerFilter.java:0)

Workaround

1. 1st issue is a duplicate problem as there are 2 instances of requires jakarta.xml.bind; within module-info.java
2. The 2nd issue, which only manifests after manually fixing issue no. 1 , i.e. removing the duplicate, is because FileServiceTest requires telemetry cdi extension and that extension in turn needs config cdi extension. Adding these annotations in FileServiceTest will be a workaround for the issue:

@AddExtension(TelemetryCdiExtension.class)
@AddExtension(ConfigCdiExtension.class)

3. After completing above workaround, the project will then build successfully.
