SDN RX RC01 Breaks

[scott2]

Hello, I upgraded a working project from 1.0.0-beta04 to 1.0.0-rc01.

Any idea why I'm getting this exception?

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'adCommands': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'dataService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'dataService': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'actorRepository'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'actorRepository': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'neo4jTemplate' while setting bean property 'neo4jOperations'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'neo4jTemplate' defined in class path resource [org/neo4j/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/data/Neo4jImperativeDataConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'neo4jTemplate' parameter 1; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'neo4jMappingContext' defined in class path resource [org/neo4j/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/data/Neo4jDataAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

[scott2]

it does look as if the code that is breaking should be checking for a null condition in getUnderlyingClass() if that is possible:

		// parent class after child class
		if (isValidParentNode(newEntity)) {
			Class<?> thisParentClass = typeInformation.getType();

			for (NodeDescription<?> possibleChild : nodeDescriptionStore.values()) {
				Class<?> possibleChildClass = possibleChild.getUnderlyingClass();
				if (possibleChildClass.getSuperclass().equals(thisParentClass)) {
					newEntity.addChildNodeDescription(possibleChild);
					possibleChild.setParentNodeDescription(newEntity);
				}
			}
		}

[gerrit_meier]

I wonder how your domain / inheritance looks like.
Only classes that are eligible for mapping should be in the nodeDescriptionStore and they should definitely provide a TypeInformation. And (of course) the superclass should never be null but end up in java.lang.Object.
Of course thank you for reporting this and I will put a guard around this but to reproduce the problem I would really love to get some input for testing.

[scott2]

I would love to provide an example, however, My issue is that I have about 40 Classes in my domain, but I don't know which one is causing the breakage.

I could supply you with my entire project but that is annoying for you to sift through it and the code as a whole is proprietary. So creating an example is quite difficult.

[scott2]

I think the larger issue is that in many cases when Neo4j has a problem with a Node object or a Repository it breaks without identifying the problem object.

[gerrit_meier]

We are trying our best to catch those exceptions and give the most detailed information we can get. But as you can guess from my previous question it is absolutely not reproducible for me to get into this state with different arrangements of parent (abstract) classes or similar.
Do you have the possibility to debug this codeline with a conditional breakpoint like possibleChildClass == null || possibleChildClass.getSuperclass() == null? Than you could tell from the NodeDescription possibleChild which construct causes the problem.
I really cannot improve this line of code without knowing what the root problem is. It would not be helpful to silently ignore this class but better to tell the user what she / he is doing wrong here (if it's not a bug).
