IllegalArgumentException when running fat jar with additional store dependency

[jjank]

Hi everybody,

I've encountered some minor issue when working with additional ConfigStores. I've created a little example app using the Kubernetes ConfigMap Store but the issue applies for all additional config stores.

According to the documentation one has to include both the vertx-config and the vertx-config-kubernetes-configmap artifacts as dependencies.

When you run the my example app on the broken branch via the maven exec-plugin or via a main-method, everything works fine. However if you run the fat jar I get an exception:

mvn clean package && java -jar target/config-demo-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-fat.jar

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown configuration store implementation: configmap (known implementations are: [event-bus, file, json, http, env, sys, directory])

The solution for me was to remove the vertx-config dependency (see the fixed branch). Now the fat jar runs just fine.
So my question is: Is this a bug or just something that the documentation should be more explicit about? Unfortunately I am not very familiar with ServiceLoaders and how that connects to the fat jar packaging. But I'd be glad to help out with a PR if you can point me into the right direction 👍

Thanks for the great work!

BTW: I encountered the exact same behavior on JDK 1.8 and JDK 11 (MacOs 10.14.2, Maven 3.5.4). Also changing the compilation target to 11 and upgrading the maven-shade-plugin did not change anything.

It's because of the SPI combination. Either you rewrite the SPI descriptor or just use the vertx-maven-plugin that would take care of this.

Ahh, very cool I just tried it and it works perfectly fine, thanks a lot!

I generated the project via start.vertx.io which did not use this plugin...yet? There is an open issue about this: vert-x3/vertx-starter#39. Maybe I can help out with a PR there.
There is also one pending PR in the vertx-maven-starter repo: vert-x3/vertx-maven-starter#3.

Thanks anyway I'm gonna close this one now :)

for who use gradle shadow plugin, try this:

shadowJar{
    mergeServiceFiles()
}
