Could not Parse POM

[kellyfj (Frank J Kelly)]

I published an artifact to our organizations Artifactory and now I am trying to download it and getting an NPE

Gradle Version: 2.7
Artifactory Plugin: classpath “org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.3.0”

Dependency

dependencies {
        compile(group: 'com.here.scbe', name: 'ScbeCommon', version: '3.73')
}

getting the following output

* Where:
Build file '/usr/local/social-analytics/ScbeKinesisConsumer/build.gradle' line: 43

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':ScbeKinesisConsumer:runtime'.
> Could not resolve com.here.scbe:ScbeCommon:3.73.

I could be using it wrong (probably am!) but I feel code should insulate user from NPEs?

Followup: FYI I tried upgrading to Gradle 2.14.1 and had the same issue

[kellyfj (Frank J Kelly)]

So I found the WHAT happened but not the why

So this does NOT work (as described above)

compile(group: 'com.here.scbe', name: 'ScbeCommon', version: '3.73')

But the following works

compile(group: 'com/here/scbe', name: 'ScbeCommon', version: '3.73')

So the question really is, in the publishing project why does

group="com.here.scbe"

get mapped to “com/here/scbe” and not “com.here.scbe”

[Lance_Java]

A guess to what’s going wrong:

When looking for artifacts in a maven repository, dots (.) in the group will be replaced with slashes (/)
So com.here.scbe and com/here/scbe will both find the artifact in the repository

My guess is that somewhere a GAV (group/artifact/version) lookup is done (eg in a Map) and this fails for for one case and succeeds in another (hence the NullPointerException).

Solution: Never use slashes in a group
Gradle Improvement: Fail for slashes in group

You are saying that this works

compile(group: 'com/here/scbe', name: 'ScbeCommon', version: '3.73')

I’m guessing that throughout your build you are declaring com/here/scbe when it should be com.here.scbe when building, publishing or referencing the artifact(s). You could build with --stacktrace to get more info on where the NPE is occuring

[kellyfj (Frank J Kelly)]

Thanks for the tip

I turned on --debug and --stacktrace and the first time I see “com.here.scbe” or “com/here/scbe” is as follows

So I don’t see any class telling us it is replacing dots with slashes.

I verified that when we publish we use “com.here.scbe” and the only reason I can think it is getting rewritten is it thinks the repo is Ivy for some reason.

[Lance_Java]

Just taking a stab in the dark here… but is ScbeCommon used as a parent pom anywhere?
Perhaps it’s in a parent reference eg:

<parent>
   <groupId>com/here/scbe</groupId>
   ...
</parent>

Hi Frank,

your Gradle version is pretty old. Did you try with a newer version (3.0 or 2.14.1)? A self contained example to reproduce the bug would be great, but I suppose this is pretty difficult in your setting. As always, if you can provide a build scan, that would be great.

Regards,
Stefan

The NPE you’re seeing is because Gradle requires a groupId value to be set for each <dependency> in a POM: a number of dependencies in this POM file don’t have any groupId value set.

First, I wholeheartedly agree that throwing a NPE here is bad form. Gradle should be telling you what’s wrong with the POM: but it looks like we were relying on assert calls in our code to catch this, and assertions are likely not enabled when you’re running Gradle. I’ve raised GRADLE-3533 for this issue.

I don’t really understand why replacing com.here.scbe with com/here/scbe seems to work for you, but I think it’s unrelated to this issue.
