bug in spring-boot because classloader

[mvpcortes]

Hi,

I am use fixture-factory with spring-boot. I need create fixtures for fake some objects.

When I use Fixture.from(MyClass.class).gimme("valid"); the MyClass.class return a class from RestartClassLoader. But the fixture-factory load my fixture using other classloader (Launcher$AppClassLoader).

I think this generate two diff MyClass classes and my application fail to identify they in Map "template" inside of Fixture class.

There is something I can do to avoid this error?

Thanks.

I create a project-example: https://github.com/marcosvpcortes/fixture-factory-spring-boot-error

I'm using spring-boot-devtools. Without it the project will works... I think it is a minor error

I will try create a fix.... The better way is not use the class to key of the template map? I could use the name of class?

Thanks...

Did you ever get this resolved? I had the same issue today but worked around it by providing my own implementation of FixtureFactory.loadTemplate(String packageName), using the Reflections library (https://github.com/ronmamo/reflections):

`
public void loadTemplates(String basePackage) {
Iterator i$ = getClassesForPackage(basePackage).iterator();

    while(i$.hasNext()) {
        Class<?> clazz = (Class)i$.next();
        if (!clazz.isInterface() && TemplateLoader.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz)) {
            try {
                ((TemplateLoader)clazz.newInstance()).load();
            } catch (Exception var4) {
                throw new RuntimeException(String.format("template %s not loaded", clazz.getName()), var4);
            }
        }
    }

}

public Set<Class<? extends BaseBlueprint>> getClassesForPackage(String packageName) {
    Reflections reflections = new Reflections(packageName);

    return reflections.getSubTypesOf(BaseBlueprint.class);
}

`

There is a bug in the getClassesForPackage utility method that the FixtureFactory uses to find the classes in a package, because of the nested jar files in a spring boot packaged jar. I'm not sure what the Reflections package does differently but it works OK.
