Are there any news on a timeline for this update?

[frantuma]

no fixed ETA, probably within next release; things should work probably fine though with 2.11.1+ if you define version in your POM / build system

I have tested using jackson 2.11.0 on our project and it was failing since a deprecated method was removed.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.AnnotatedMember.getType(Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/type/TypeBindings;)Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JavaType;
	at io.swagger.jackson.ModelResolver.resolve(ModelResolver.java:424)
	at io.swagger.jackson.ModelResolver.resolve(ModelResolver.java:202)

The same issue when use swagger-core-1.6.1 and jackson-databind-2.11.0.jar

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JavaType com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.AnnotatedMember.getType(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeBindings)'

things should work probably fine though

@frantuma it is not work fine because of NoSuchMethod error

[frantuma]

This is waiting for feedback on jackson PR; after that is clarified this can be implemented in master by updating version (and fixing quoting in tests if there is no progress in jackson PR), and in 1.5 version,by updating deprecated calls member.getType(beanDesc.bindingsForBeanType()); with member.getType(); in ModelResolver (and fixing quoting in tests if there is no progress in jackson PR)

[frantuma]

implemented in #3601 and #3574

Thanks @frantuma

Do we have an estimate when the fix will be released?

[qwazer]

@xcv58 As I understand release date can be tracked here: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/milestone/37

[frantuma]

@qwazer this is not correct, at least at the moment we are not cutting a release at the end of milestones; that said, 2.1.3 was released on June 27th

[blop]

Looks better with 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT, but I have another unrelated issue now ;-)

Hi @frantuma

I upgrade to the latest swagger-core@2.1.3 and Jackson@2.11.1. However, there is still the same error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.AnnotatedMember.getType(Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/type/TypeBindings;)Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JavaType;
        at io.swagger.jackson.ModelResolver.resolve(ModelResolver.java:425)
        at io.swagger.jackson.ModelResolver.resolve(ModelResolver.java:203)

It can be reproduced via xcv58/finatra-swagger#1

All dependencies are defined here:
https://github.com/xcv58/finatra-swagger/blob/8572a0637fcd9519345a3730ae3b1a33319236db/build.sbt#L29-L37

I'm not sure it's the same bug or a different one. Could you please take a look?

[frantuma]

@xcv58 from the stack trace and looking at your code, you are using swagger 1.x (1.5 branch) and not 2.x (master branch); I guess you're picking up the version transitively from swagger-scala-module, which is not the latest (supporting Jackson 2.11.1); you should add a dependency to latest io.swagger:swagger-core 1.x version 1.6.2

[xcv58]

Thanks @frantuma

You are correct, I will work with them to figure out how can we upgrade.
