Pico CLI runtime issue on Graal 23 - picocli.CommandLine$InitializationException Cannot instantiate the class has no constructor #2357

Hakky54 · 2024-12-30T09:00:04Z

I noticed that Pico CLI is working on Graal 22 but not on Graal 23 anymore when creating/running a native image. I wasn't quite sure where to create this issue as I am not sure where it could be fixed. So I was in doubt whether Graal has caused an issue and has regression. I wanted to raise this issue first here as you are the library maintainer and maybe can easily find the issue and if it is caused by the Graal changes itself we can provide context to them to resolve it on their side if that is the case.

I am using Pico CLI alongside with Graal to create a native image for Certificate Ripper. Recently I added VersionProvider class which implements CommandLine.IVersionProvider to provide the version. On Graal 22 this works, however on version 23 it gives me the following error:

❯ ./target/crip
Exception in thread "main" picocli.CommandLine$InitializationException: Cannot instantiate nl.altindag.crip.command.VersionProvider: the class has no constructor

How to reproduce?

Install Graal 22 and 23 from https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/
Make sure your java home is configured to point to version Graal 22
Install maven
run git clone https://github.com/Hakky54/certificate-ripper.git
run mvn clean install -Pnative-image
run ./target/crip (it does not give a runtime exception)
configure java home to graal 23
repeat step 5 and 6 and the runtime exception will be shown

Any idea what the root cause could be? Adding a default constructor to the VersionProvider did not work.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

This sounds like a bug in GraalVM 23, but just to double check, can you provide the contents of your reflect.json config file?

I had that feeling as well, but wasn't sure.

my graalvm config files looks like:

However that resulted in

Created an issue at the graal github repo:

[GR-60766] [Native Image] Pico CLI native app fails to run on Graal 23 oracle/graal#10390

In addition to adding

{
  "name": "nl.altindag.crip.command.VersionProvider",
  "allDeclaredConstructors": true,
  "allPublicConstructors": true,
  "allDeclaredMethods": true,
  "allPublicMethods": true
}

Can you also try adding this?

  {
    "name" : "picocli.CommandLine$AutoHelpMixin",
    "allDeclaredConstructors" : true,
    "allPublicConstructors" : true,
    "allDeclaredMethods" : true,
    "allPublicMethods" : true,
    "fields" : [
      { "name" : "helpRequested" },
      { "name" : "versionRequested" }
    ]
  }

These should have been added by the picocli annotation processor. This may be a bug in the picocli annotation processor.

This did the trick, amazing that you figured it out! Any idea why this issue is popping up with GraalVM 23? and not on version 22?
