java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class kotlinx.ast.grammar.kotlin.target.antlr.kotlin.KotlinGrammarAntlrKotlinParser about ast HOT 7 CLOSED

I realize this may not be directly an issue of the library, but a consequence of using the ShadowJar plugin.

Note that i have the following file in my generated jar:

kotlinx/ast/grammar/kotlin/target/antlr/kotlin/KotlinGrammarAntlrKotlinParser.class

from ast.

Hi @gauthier-roebroeck-mox,
when the class is not found (for example, if you remove the .class file from the jar file) you will get a ClassNotFoundException. NoClassDefFoundError means that there was an exception while running the static initialisation code of the given class. There should be another error in the log before this. This can be a ClassNotFoundException, caused by one of the dependencies not found.

can you send me a list of all kotlinx.ast and org.antlr file in yours jar file? maybe like this:

unzip -l jarfile.jar | grep kotlinx
unzip -l jarfile.jar | grep ast

@drieks here is a gist with the 2 greps you provided. Appreciate if you can help finding out what's missing for your library to function.

There's no other error prior to that one.

Here is the code I use to parse:

fun parseFromStream(input: InputStream, properties: PropertiesProvider): List<Pair<String, List<Schema>>> {
        val source = AstSource.String("", input.bufferedReader().readText())
        val kotlinFile = KotlinGrammarAntlrKotlinParser.parseKotlinFile(source)
        ...
}

Hi @gauthier-roebroeck-mox,

sadly it is very hard to help in this case because I can't debug it. Can you create a repository containing only the files required to reproduce this problem?

That may be difficult, it is an internal private project for my employer, i cannot share the code as is.

Hi @gauthier-roebroeck-mox,

you can start with an empty project/directory and add only the required files, mainly the build file. No additional dependencies (expect kotlinx.ast) are required, only one small example main and the important part, the jar building settings. No other source files are required. This is called "minimal working example" and allows me to debug this problem.
