Quarkus native and org.kohsuke:github-api - Failed to deserialize exception - github-api

Question

I'm playing with Quarkus native and org.kohsuke:github-api:1.111 and I see Failed to deserialize exception in native mode when doing simple new GitHubBuilder().withOAuthToken(ghToken).build();. This works in JVM mode.
The main problem is probably the fact that org.kohsuke:github-api is not ready for native mode.
I still want to ask if there are any options to workaround this, maybe some jackson tricks for https://github.com/github-api/github-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GHMyself.java (stacktrace contains Cannot construct instance of org.kohsuke.github.GHMyself (no Creators, like default construct, exist)).

Answer 1

You can also use #RegisterForReflection(targets = GHObject.class) on any of your classes

Answer 2

My guess is that you will need to register all the GHObject hierarchy for reflection using a ReflectiveHierarchyBuildItem.
So that requires an extension. It would be a useful addition for the Platform IMHO.

Answer 3

If you are running in native mode and getting the error is because of reflection to resolve the annotate your class with #RegisterForReflection also add a no-args constructor in your class then rebuild the application and run your error will be resolved.
