Compile is broken on > v0.9.14 version

[AlfredoG87]

Description

We try to do a compile of pbj as part of our build process on the BlockNode, however is failing with the following error:

/Users/user/Projects/hedera-block-node/stream/build/generated/source/pbj-proto/main/java/com/hedera/hapi/streams/codec/ContractBytecodeProtoCodec.java:174: error: method writeMessage in class ProtoWriterTools cannot be applied to given types;
        writeMessage(out, CONTRACT_ID, data.contractId(), com.hedera.hapi.node.base.ContractID.PROTOBUF::write, com.hedera.hapi.node.base.ContractID.PROTOBUF::measureRecord);
        ^
  required: WritableSequentialData,FieldDefinition,T,Codec<T>
  found:    WritableSequentialData,FieldDefinition,ContractID,com.hedera[...]write,com.hedera[...]ecord
  reason: cannot infer type-variable(s) T
    (actual and formal argument lists differ in length)
  where T is a type-variable:
    T extends Object declared in method <T>writeMessage(WritableSequentialData,FieldDefinition,T,Codec<T>)

Steps to reproduce

Just pull version dependabot/gradle/hiero-dependency-versions/pbjVersion-0.9.14 and attempt to build:

./gradlew clean build

Additional context

Similar/Same error is happening in all other classes:

This should be fixed in the current main branch; we just need to verify that and publish a new release.

To test PBJ dev development version (e.g. in hedera-services).

In pbj:

• Make sure version is correct in pbj-core/version.txt -> set to 0.9.17-SNAPSHOT
• ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

In hedera-services:

• adjust settings.gradle.kts to load both plugin and runtime from mavenLocal():

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        mavenLocal()
    }
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories { mavenLocal() }
}

• Adjust PBJ version in hapi/build.gradle.kts and hiero-dependency-versions/build.gradle.kts to 0.9.17-SNAPSHOT

@jjohannes :

• Adjust PBJ version in hapi/build.gradle.kts and hiero-dependency-versions/build.gradle.kts to 0.9.17-SNAPSHOT

Is it possible to have only one place where the dependency version is specified?

[jjohannes]

@anthony-swirldslabs good point. I am also not happy with that. We can't use just the "normal" version definition in hiero-dependency-versions, because we also define the version for the PBJ Gradle plugin. This is required when Gradle starts up (before that file is even looked at).

This is special, because it is the only Gradle plugin for which we define an individual version in the repositories that use it.

I identified a solution to define the plugin version in a way such that it can be accessed in hiero-dependency-versions. Then the runtime version is automatically based on the plugin (compiler) version.

I added this adjustment to: hiero-ledger/hiero-consensus-node#17528

Version is now in settings.gradle.kts:

    versionCatalogs.register("additionalPlugins") {
        plugin("pbj", "com.hedera.pbj.pbj-compiler").version("0.9.16")
    }

That is awesome. Thank you, @jjohannes !!
