Debugging of geb.error.UnableToLoadException: Unable to load configuration from class...

[thirsch...@gmail.com]

I am getting this stacktrace when running on Jenkins, so far I have been unable to reproduce it on my development machine (MacOS):

14:52:38 spec.MySpec > classMethod FAILED

I have tried a manual cloning of the directory, and then the problem does not happen.
But I am unable to go further with this, because the diff of the two checkout directories says that they are identical.

What could be causing this? 

[thirsch...@gmail.com]

I found the problem.
It was related to an exception that I throw myself in GebConfig.groovy, if some parameter are not provided, which might happen as a result of not doing a clean build.
I was confused because it did not print the message of that root exception, which would've helped greatly.
I only got to read it when I remote debugged the process, and inspect the throwable in this line:

ConfigurationLoader.groovy, line 304 - 306:

} catch (Throwable e) {
    throw new UnableToLoadException(source, slurper.environment, e)
}

Is there a generic way to make Java/Gradle/Whatever print the message of "e" also?

I tried exceptionFormat = 'full' in the Gradle Test task, but it didn't do anything for me.

Thanks for your email and the report of the issue you've encountered. The root exception, also referred to as cause is ignored in this case and not passed on in the constructor of UnableToLoadException: https://github.com/geb/geb/blob/a948be381fd2e25b5b170a421a555b8bd90128d0/module/geb-core/src/main/groovy/geb/error/UnableToLoadException.groovy#L24. If it was passed on to the super constructor then you'd see its message and stacktrace would be included in your original stacktrace. This is clearly a bug which I've recently accidentally introduced and not the intended behaviour so I've created an issue for it: https://github.com/geb/issues/issues/572.

Hello Marcin,

Any idea when this will be released? I am facing this same error and I cannot get to the bottom at all of the root cause. I am currently on 2.3.1.

Regards

Charles

Hi Charles,

The plan is to release 3.0 which will contain the fix that's already on master early next week. I'm not planning to make any changes between now and the release so you might as well use 3.0-SNAPSHOT until then, see http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#snapshot-repository. Be warned that there is a number of breaking changes in 3.0, see http://www.gebish.org/manual/snapshot/#breaking-changes.

Regards,
Marcin
