micronaut-spring-boot:5.4.0 fails with io.micronaut.context.exceptions.NoSuchBeanException: No bean of type [io.micronaut.context.event.ApplicationEventPublisher<io.micronaut.context.event.StartupEvent>] when running a jar file

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behaviour

gradle bootRun works well, but building the application as jar file and running it leads to an startup error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Caused by: io.micronaut.context.exceptions.NoSuchBeanException: No bean of type [io.micronaut.context.event.ApplicationEventPublisher<io.micronaut.context.event.StartupEvent>] exists. Make sure the bean is not disabled by bean requirements (enable trace logging for 'io.micronaut.context.condition' to check) and if the bean is enabled then ensure the class is declared a bean and annotation processing is enabled (for Java and Kotlin the 'micronaut-inject-java' dependency should be configured as an annotation processor).

Steps To Reproduce

1. Clone micronaut-spring-no-bean-of-type-applicationeventpublisher-exists repository
2. Build jar

./gradlew bootJar

3. Run jar

java -jar build/libs/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

You might want to check if it did create a shadow jar and if meta-inf services are merged correctly

You might want to check if it did create a shadow jar and if meta-inf services are merged correctly

There is only one file in services:

java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider

There is no shadow jar, as it normal Spring Boot application created with Spring Initializer (https://start.spring.io) with micronaut-spring-boot dependency. It's not using Micronaut Gradle plugin and Gradle Shadow plugin. It's using Micronaut as parent context for Spring Boot application.

@dstepanov I found a related issue in Micronaut Gradle plugin: https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-gradle-plugin/issues/406, the only difference is that in my case I'm using Micronaut as a parent context without Gradle shadow and Micronaut Gradle plugins, only Spring gradle plugin with micronaut-spring-boot dependency. It worked fine for Micronaut 3, but not for Micronaut 4. Has something changed in 4th version and need to add some extra config?

[andrebrov]

Looks like there was some change in Spring Boot 3. Config below helps to resolve this issue:

tasks.bootJar { loaderImplementation = org.springframework.boot.loader.tools.LoaderImplementation.CLASSIC }

[asw12]

The upstream change in Spring Boot 3.2 is documented in the release notes.

The previous URL format of jar:file:/dir/myjar.jar:BOOT-INF/lib/nested.jar!/com/example/MyClass.class has been replaced with jar:nested:/dir/myjar.jar/!BOOT-INF/lib/nested.jar!/com/example/MyClass.class.

A new NestedFileSystemProvider was added in support of this new scheme.

However, micronaut-spring has code that prepends any jarUri that isn't starting with "file:" with that scheme: https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-core/blob/0118db96962eaf7a83abbcb81c1afd73139ff777/core/src/main/java/io/micronaut/core/io/IOUtils.java#L156-L162 So you get something like file:/nested:/dir/myjar.jar/!BOOT-INF/lib/nested.jar!/com/example/MyClass.class

That causes the FileSystemProvider for "file:" to be used instead of Spring's NestedFileSystemProvider, and that former one won't be able to load /nested:.../.

This is then causing the ServiceScanner to be unable to find any META-INF/micronaut/io.micronaut.inject.BeanDefinitionReference files listing out bean definitions, causing those NoSuchBeanException.
