Hi @axelfontaine thanks for reporting this! I've attempted to reproduce this with a simple app that includes just gax 2.19.0 as a dependency on Graalvm 22.2.0 but haven't been able to see this error. A couple of questions to gain more information:

1. What version of gax are you using?
2. Did you see this error for GraalVM 22.1.0 as well?
3. Are you using any specific logging library along with gax?

It would also be great if you have a small reproducer to share.

[axelfontaine]

We don't use gax directly, but it gets included as a transitive dependency of GCP's SDKs.

Here are our relevant dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation("org.slf4j:slf4j-jdk14:1.7.36")
    implementation("org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:1.7.36")
    implementation("com.google.code.gson:gson:2.9.1")
    implementation("com.google.cloud:google-cloud-compute:1.12.0") {
        exclude(group = "org.apache.httpcomponents")
        exclude(group = "commons-logging")
    }
    implementation("com.google.cloud:google-cloud-storage:2.11.3") {
        exclude(group = "com.google.http-client", module = "google-http-client-apache-v2")
    }
}

This is the code that triggers it:

        val storage: Storage = StorageOptions.newBuilder().setCredentials(credentials)
            .setProjectId(projectId).build().service
        storage.get(BlobId.of(bucketName, fileName)).delete()

And this is how we initialize our logging:

java.util.Logger.getLogger("abc")

org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger("abc")

While this transitively includes an older version of gax, this doesn't change with 2.19.0 as can be verified by forcing the newer dependency with:

    implementation("com.google.api:gax-grpc:2.19.0")
    implementation("com.google.api:gax-httpjson:0.104.0")

The relevant native-image.properties files haven't changed recently:

• https://github.com/googleapis/gax-java/blob/main/gax/src/main/resources/META-INF/native-image/com.google.api/gax/native-image.properties
• https://github.com/googleapis/gax-java/blob/main/gax-grpc/src/main/resources/META-INF/native-image/com.google.api/gax-grpc/native-image.properties

And contain some highly questionable lines including:

--initialize-at-build-time=org.conscrypt,\
  org.slf4j.LoggerFactory,\
  org.junit.platform.engine.TestTag \

Also note that everything works fine if google-cloud-storage is downgraded to 2.8.0 and google-cloud-compute is downgraded to 1.8.1.

[mpeddada1]

@axelfontaine thanks for the detailed follow-up! I was able to reproduce this problem. It seemed like we were bringing in some unnecessary dependencies in java-compute which was causing a conflict with the slf4j library dependencies. This PR should address this: googleapis/java-compute#722. It will be introduced with java-compute 1.12.1

[mpeddada1]

java-compute 1.12.1 has been released with this fix.
