@Big Chungus npm-publish doesn't fully support Configuration Cache.

I say "doesn't support fully" because, if I comment out dependency configurations on the packageJson block, everything works fine. But if I include those configs, it fails with the error

Execution failed for task ':picortex-sdk-react:assembleJsPackage'.
> Error while evaluating property 'package$npm_publish_gradle_plugin.packageJson.dependencies' of task ':picortex-sdk-react:assembleJsPackage'
   > Failed to query the value of property 'dependencies'.
      > Could not create an instance of type dev.petuska.npm.publish.extension.domain.json.JsonObject.
         > Could not generate a decorated class for type JsonObject.
            > class sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.TypeVariableImpl cannot be cast to class java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType (sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.TypeVariableImpl and java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

Is there a known current workaround you?? Also, should I create a ticket for this in github??

Tested Versions.

npm-publish: 3.0.3
kotlin     : 1.7.10 & 1.7.20
gradle     : 7.5.1
jdk        : openjdk_18

[Big Chungus]

Yes, this was already on my todo list, but I'd appreciate your bugreport regardless

[Big Chungus]

Unfortunately no workarounds that I'm aware of.

[andylamax]

any ETA??

[Big Chungus]

None. A bit tight on time these days so had to put my oss efforts on hold. I'll try to look into it before new year though.

[Big Chungus]

Apologies

[andylamax]

No worries at all. I believe I can help

[andylamax]

you do accept pull requests, right??

[andylamax]

Contributing.md is empty. So, I am assuming a plain pull request would suffice. No?

[Big Chungus]

Ofc. DM me if you get stuck or have questions!

[Big Chungus]

Raise a bug first and then start a pr for it. Other than that do whatever works best for you.

[andylamax]

roger that

[andylamax]

I am having problems just opening the problem in IDEA. I am getting

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'plugin.publishing']
> Failed to apply plugin 'plugin.publishing'.
   > Cannot run program "git": error=2, No such file or directory

[Big Chungus]

That's weird, did you clone the project or just downloaded zip from the web?

[Big Chungus]

Although for local dev you can safely just comment out that plugin in build.gradle.kts

[andylamax]

BTW. while fixing this issue, I found a work around (I think its the best approach) to include the dependencies.

instead of using the dependencies in the packageJson config block, one should use dependencies from kotlinSourceSets

[Big Chungus]

That's not a workaround, but intended usage 😀 pJson dependencies are there only for completeness and shouldn't really be used

[andylamax]

I agree 100%. I came to realize, I had it because previous versions not bundling those dependencies declared in sourceSets looks like they are being declared now
