Pedestal dependency causes cljdoc build to fail

[Alan Thompson]

Hi - I'm not sure how to approach this problem.  It seems that my dependency on Pedestal has caused a build failure at cljdoc.org

Execution error (IllegalArgumentException) at tupelo.pedestal/eval25355$loading (pedestal.clj:7).
Can't define method not in interfaces: isAsyncSupported
Full report at: /tmp/clojure-3318143415647882648.edn

Full details here:  https://github.com/cljdoc/cljdoc/issues/305

However, previous builds have succeeded:  https://cljdoc.org/d/tupelo/tupelo/0.9.138/doc/readme

Pedestal is composed of lein subprojects, and the `service` subproject has `javax.servlet` as a `:dev` dependency (not a normal dep).  I am guessing this is the cause of the build failure, but I'm not sure of the exact cause or cure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Sorry you got snagged by this!  The servlet dependency is a provided dependency, so it's expected that projects using `pedestal.service` also set the servlet dependency in their classpath (eg: with their deps/build tool).  It could be that you already have a servlet dependency in your classpath, but an older, previous version before `isAsyncSupported` was added.  Pedestal requires Java 1.8+ and Servlet 3.1+.

In a future version of Pedestal, the servlet specific pieces will be a bit more isolated (and will no longer be a required/provided dep).

Hope this helps!

Regards
