StackOverflowError with Spring Boot 4, java-test-fixtures and addJUnitPlatformLauncher enabled

[themoffster]

I'm upgrading to Spring Boot 4.
To do this I need gradle v8.14.x at a minimum.
When i apply the pitest plugin using this version of gradle I get a stack overflow error:

java.lang.StackOverflowError at org.gradle.api.reflect.ObjectInstantiationException.<init>(ObjectInstantiationException.java:29) at org.gradle.internal.instantiation.generator.DependencyInjectingInstantiator.doCreate(DependencyInjectingInstantiator.java:67) at org.gradle.internal.instantiation.generator.DependencyInjectingInstantiator.newInstance(DependencyInjectingInstantiator.java:53) at org.gradle.api.internal.DefaultNamedDomainObjectSet.filtered(DefaultNamedDomainObjectSet.java:66) at org.gradle.api.internal.DefaultNamedDomainObjectSet.withType(DefaultNamedDomainObjectSet.java:81) at

originally raised here: hcoles/pitest#1444 but told to raise here.

Are you using the latest version with Gradle 9 support?
https://github.com/szpak/gradle-pitest-plugin/releases/tag/release%2F1.19.0-rc.2

[themoffster]

yes, using this RC version and gradle v8.14.3

[szpak]

I setup a simple project with JUnit 5 and Spring Boot 4.0.1 plugin applied and... it worked. Can you share a (minimal) project where it can be reproduced?

Update. Gradle-8.14.3.

I'll try and get something together for you, but buried deep in my stacktrace the line is at info.solidsoft.gradle.pitest.PitestPlugin$_addJUnitPlatformLauncherDependencyIfNeeded_closure14$_closure19.doCall$original(PitestPlugin.groovy:290)

gradle-pitest-plugin/src/main/groovy/info/solidsoft/gradle/pitest/PitestPlugin.groovy

Line 285 in 19894e8

//copy() seems to copy also something that refers to original configuration and generates StackOverflow on getting components

seems to suggest this is a known issue.
I've attached the full stack trace

Further investigation leads me to believe it is an issue with the java-test-fixtures plugin.
I don't know why it's just the pitest plugin that fails, but in one of my projects, removing the java-test-fixtures plugin avoids the error

[szpak]

info.solidsoft.gradle.pitest.PitestPlugin$_addJUnitPlatformLauncherDependencyIfNeeded_closure14$_closure19.doCall$original(PitestPlugin.groovy:290)

Looking at that stacktrace line you might also workaround that problem, but disabling the mechanism with:

pitest {
    addJUnitPlatformLauncher = false
}

and manually add junit-platform-launcher as a testRuntimeOnly depedency:

dependencies {
    testRuntimeOnly org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher:6.x.x
}

Anyway, it would be great to get the minimal project reproducing the problem to try to explain if anything can be "improved" on my plugin side or it is rather something in java-test-fixtures/Gradle/spring boot plugin to "fix".

this suggestion above worked - thank you!
I am trying to get you a working demo of the problem, but I can't seem to replicate it in a standalone project at the moment
