Issu with rebar3 and last version of gpb plugin

[loudferret]

With version 2.20.2 I have problems using umbrella project and rebar.config as in example

rebar3_gpb_plugin/doc/samples/sample_release/

rebar 3.16.1 on Erlang/OTP 24 Erts 12.0.1 error:

===> Uncaught error in rebar_core. Run with DIAGNOSTIC=1 to see stacktrace or consult rebar3.crashdump
===> Uncaught error: undef

Output in rebar3.crashdump:

Error: undef

using any (older) version 2.19.1, 2.20.0 and/or 2.20.1 solved the issue. I stayed with 2.20.1.

If you need any more info, let me know to investigate more. Thank you.

We made changes to compilation that may have broken this.

@ferd do you know a good example of a plugin that got updated from old to new that's diff can be used as a guide?

@tsloughter I would have expected that one of the newer releases would be fixed? This is an issue from a year ago. Is it still active on 3.18 or even main?

[tsloughter]

Oh, my bad, I am probably mixing things up. I thought all plugins had to be updated at one point, but this does look different.
