Annotation Processor Error

[pmarchione]

When trying to implement the Annotation Processor in our code, a syntax error is shown stating that the annotation is "disallowed for this location". It does not matter if the annotation is written in the correct location or some other random location in the code, the error appears every time.

Thanks @pmarchione for reporting this. I will take a look asap and come back to you with more details :)

Hi @pmarchione , after trying some projects with ChaosMachine's annotation processor, I find that this is related to the version of Spoon that you are using. I also had the warning messages about "annotation disallowed for this location". But with Spoon version 7.4.0-beta-12 this does not prevent the processor from generating the configuration file.

For your reference, here is a concrete example of using ChaosMachineAnnotationProcessor in a real project: https://github.com/gluckzhang/DemoSite/tree/demo-for-cap

What I did in this project includes:

• Build ChaosMachineAnnotationProcessor and import the jar file in the target project. This could be configured in the Maven pom.xml file. See here
• Add some annotations in file SavedPaymentServiceImpl.java
• Run mvn package in folder site and then there should be a perturbationPoints.csv generated in this folder

I will update the README to clarify this. Will also discuss this warning message with the Spoon team.
