“You need to add io.quarkus:quarkus-rest-client-reactive-jackson to your dependencies.” even though it’s present

[patr1kt0th]

Hi guys. I was about to update our project to the latest Quarkus version (3.4.1) and got a strange error when trying to compile our conversion-connector (the only one using quarkus-openapi-generator version 2.2.10). We use the reactive versions of the dependencies:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-resteasy-reactive-jackson</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-rest-client-reactive-jackson</artifactId>
    </dependency>

and after I try to compile (or run) the application using ./mvnw clean compile, I get:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal io.quarkus.platform:quarkus-maven-plugin:3.4.1:generate-code (default) on project conversion-connector: Quarkus code generation phase has failed: InvocationTargetException: You need to add io.quarkus:quarkus-rest-client-reactive-jackson to your dependencies. -> [Help 1]

By using the -e switch, the cause is shown:

Caused by: io.quarkus.bootstrap.prebuild.CodeGenException: You need to add io.quarkus:quarkus-rest-client-reactive-jackson to your dependencies.
    at io.quarkiverse.openapi.generator.deployment.codegen.OpenApiGeneratorCodeGenBase.trigger (OpenApiGeneratorCodeGenBase.java:103)

And after checking deployment/src/main/java/io/quarkiverse/openapi/generator/deployment/codegen/OpenApiGeneratorCodeGenBase.java's history and trying the same with the current code base from main, the throw moved to line 106.

Using the classic versions of the dependencies:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-resteasy-jackson</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-rest-client-jackson</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-resteasy-multipart</artifactId>
    </dependency>

I'm able to compile and run the application without any issues.

@hbelmiro , @ricardozanini , do you have an idea what's going on here? I can check in more details tomorrow, but maybe you know it right away?

No idea @patr1kt0th 🙁
I’d have to take a further look.

Same here with quarkus 3.4.1 on gradle.

@hbelmiro : I've analyzed this issue.

With Quarkus 3.4.1, the Quarkus team has changed the identifier for the REST_CLIENT_REACTIVE_JACKSON capability. That's the related commit: quarkusio/quarkus@29181b3

However, the latest version of quarkus-openapi-generator expects this capability via the id io.quarkus.rest.client.reactive.jackson as it has been compiled with Quarkus < 3.4.1. Now Quarkus provides this capability with the following id io.quarkus.rest.client.reactive.json.jackson. Obviously, this cannot work anymore.

I guess we just need to recompile the quarkus-openapi-generator with Quarkus version 3.4.1 and it should work again. However, this change is not backward compatible because the resulting version would not work with Quarkus apps < 3.4.1.

Solution idea: we could determine the Quarkus version at build time and request the correct capability id accordingly. By doing so, the extension would be compatible with Quarkus < 3.4.1 and >= 3.4.1.

Shall I implement a PR?

Many thanks for investigating @chberger ❤️
Please go ahead with the PR.

[chberger]

Here we go: #500

This PR is still marked as draft since I don't have automated tests. Maybe the community can test that version and verify that everything works as expected. @hbelmiro wdyt?

[patr1kt0th]

@chberger I can definitely give it a try on our codebase where we use Quarkus version 3.3.1 on main and 3.4.1 on dev.

UPDATE: I was able to start both versions locally (quarkus dev) using the changes from this PR.
