Can not create bean flipAnnotationsStore

[mxhc]

I used flips web dependency and @Import(FlipWebContextConfiguration.class) Spring boot 2.1.2 It always throws this exception: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'flipAnnotationsStore': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException at

Thank you for informing, we will take a look. In the meantime if it is possible pls share the code, if you can and do take a look at https://github.com/SarthakMakhija/flips-samples?files=1 for samples in spring boot 2

[mxhc]

thank you for your fast reply. I followed the samples from the url you supplied. In one sample project I created just to test the feature, it works just fine. In my main project, as soon as I put the @Import(FlipWebContextConfiguration.class), I get this exception. I have just one @FlipOff annotation on one controller method. Thats all. You want me to share my pom with you? Or something else?

package com.smort;

import org.flips.describe.config.FlipWebContextConfiguration; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import; import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;

@Import(FlipWebContextConfiguration.class) @SpringBootApplication @PropertySource("classpath:messages.properties") public class RestDemoApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(RestDemoApplication.class, args); }

}

[SarthakMakhija]

Yeah, pom.xml should be fine.

Thank you, will get back soon.

I tried it in yet another project, and same problem. Added a flips web dependency, flipped some controller methods off, added a controller advice and imported FlipWebContextConfiguration. Same error. The project was made with spring boot 1.4.7

Created new project from https://start.spring.io, added a few dependencies and made a simple controller with 2 methods, and it works fine. Why it doesn't work in my project? What am I doing wrong?

always on this line if (!this.isPackageExcludedFromScan(clazz.getPackage().getName())) { in public class FlipAnnotationsStore

Also tried it on this project: https://github.com/mxhc/sfg-pet-clinic

you can test it. Just add flips web dependency and import FlipWebContextConfiguration. It crashes every time.

Hope you will have time to check it out.

[SarthakMakhija]

Give me some time, I will definitely get back ..

[mxhc]

nothing?

[amcguinness056]

Hi, I am also having this issues and keen to find out if there has been a solution?

Thanks, Aaron

[tchevganov-aires]

Any update on this? I was looking into using this project, but getting the same NPE as mentioned above.

[chrispwright]

Any updates on this? Having a similar issue on this line:

at org.flips.store.FlipAnnotationsStore.buildFlipAnnotationsStore(FlipAnnotationsStore.java:54)

.collect(toMap(MethodConditionEvaluator::getMethod, MethodConditionEvaluator::getFlipConditionEvaluator));

Seems to not like Request Scoped Beans

@Scope(value = "request", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)

Hey @chrispwright

Apologies, haven't been able to find time for this. Has been in the backlog for long but just keeps getting pushed.

Apologies again ..
