Hello,
I’ve encountered several issues while trying to update the patient-flags module, particularly in relation to the cql-api module, and I wanted to check if I’m using them correctly or if there’s a known compatibility issue.
Initially, to run the patient-flags module, I compiled the cql-api module with Java 11 and installed the generated JAR into my local Maven repository. However, this necessitated switching the patient-flags module to Java 11 as well, which led to a series of problems:
Encoding Issue: I encountered a MalformedInputException related to resource filtering:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.3.1:resources (default-resources) on project patientflags-api: filtering C:\Users\ryanm\IdeaProjects\op
enmrs-module-patientflags\api\src\main\resources\messages_fr.properties to C:\Users\ryanm\IdeaProjects\openmrs-module-patientflags\api\target\classes\messages_fr.properties failed with MalformedInputException: Input length = 1 -> [Help 1]
I resolved this by setting the encoding to ISO-8859-1 during compilation:
mvn compile -D"project.build.sourceEncoding=ISO-8859-1" -D"project.reporting.outputEncoding=ISO-8859-1"
Maven Dependency Plugin Error : Next, I encountered an error with maven-dependency-plugin unpacking dependencies:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.6.0:unpack-dependencies (Expand moduleApplicationContext and messages) on project patientflags-omod: Artifact has not been packaged yet. When used on reactor artifact, unpack should be executed after packaging: see MDEP-98. -> [Help 1]
This appears to be related to MDEP-98, for which I used mvn package and install as a workaround.
As a workaround I used mvn package and install.
Test Failures : Subsequently, all tests began to fail with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException , which might be related to Java 11. The errors are detailed here: Test Failures Log.
Could you advise if there’s a way to develop and run this module with Java 8, or if there are specific steps to ensure compatibility with Java 11?
Thank you for your help!
