Type ClassLoader causes a stackoverflow

[xenoterracide]

The error (took me a minute to figure out what it was complaining about due to the stackoverflow)

The class

@SuppressWarnings("checkstyle:HiddenField")
public class TestCliConfiguration implements CliConfiguration {
  private final @MonotonicNonNull String name;

  private final @MonotonicNonNull ClassLoader classLoader;

  private final String moduleType;

  private final String language;

  private final String project;

  TestCliConfiguration(
    @MonotonicNonNull String name,
    @MonotonicNonNull ClassLoader classLoader,
    String moduleType,
    String language,
    String project
  ) {
    this.name = name;
    this.classLoader = classLoader;
    this.moduleType = moduleType;
    this.language = language;
    this.project = project;
  }

  @Override
  public Optional<Path> getConfigDir() {
    return Try.ofSupplier( this::getClassLoader )
      .filter( Objects::nonNull )
      .mapTry( cl -> cl.getResource( "config" ) )
      .filter( Objects::nonNull, t -> new IOException( "unable to find resource 'config'" ) )
      .mapTry( URL::toURI )
      .map( Path::of )
      .map( Optional::of )
      .getOrElse( Optional.empty() );
  }

I don't really expect ClassLoader to be serializable, but I decided to report this because it might be possible to stop the stackoverflow as I didn't see the exception in the middle of all the noise at first.

Jackson and JDK version? (2.12, and something beyond Java 8?).

I suspect this might be same or related to #3130, fixed for 2.13, but not available for 2.12.

[xenoterracide]

sorry, I meant to include those, it's 2.11, and java 11.0.something lol.

[cowtowncoder]

A work-around for pre-2.13 versions: you may be able to force ignoral of ClassLoader by either

1. Add mix-in for ClassLoader with class annotation of @JsonIgnoreType OR
2. Use config override like:

ObjectMapper mapper = ...;
mapper.configOverride(ClassLoader.class).setIsIgnoredType(true);

I have not verified this but conceptually should work.

[cowtowncoder]

Fixed via #3130 (for Jackson 2.13.0), closing.
