Remove or replace DataNucleus
elharo opened this issue · 6 comments
DataNucleus doesn't work very well on App Engine these days and the official recommendation is to replace it: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/datastore/jdo/overview-dn2
I'm not sure how deeply DataNucleus is woven into this project, but if it's not too tight we should get rid of it.
This is starting to make our tests flaky, especially on Windows:
Error: Failed to execute goal org.datanucleus:datanucleus-maven-plugin:4.0.5:enhance (default) on project google-oauth-client-servlet: The DataNucleus tool org.datanucleus.enhancer.DataNucleusEnhancer exited with a non-null exit code. -> [Help 1]

DataNucleus Enhancer completed with an error. Please review the enhancer log (at DEBUG level) for full details. Some classes may have been enhanced but some caused errors

Nested Throwables StackTrace:
Root cause appears to be org.datanucleus.exceptions.NucleusException: Error reading the Meta-Data input "Content is not allowed in prolog.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.
Somehow on Windows there's something funky about a file it wants to read.
Confirmed that DataNucleus simply cannot build on Windows. That is, it's no surprise the build is failing there.
It looks like this was partially resolved by removing the Windows build in #633 but that doesn't address the question of whether we should remove DataNucleus, I think.
Actually, based on the maintenance level described in the README, I think this is a non-critical issue (now that workaround is found) and it can be closed.
