Runing Jenkins build throws: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException

Question

Hey I'm trying to get a Maven Java project to run via Jenkins build, It run perfectly via the command line but when I run this via Jenkins. I get this error:

Unable to make field private final java.util.Comparator java.util.TreeMap.comparator accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.util" to unnamed module @425ea9cb

here is the full stacktrace

Jenkins is not even checking out code from the repository, It is on a windows machine and the version of Java is 10 can anyone help?

Area to focus on Unable to make field private final java.util.Comparator java.util.TreeMap.comparator accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.util" to unnamed module @425ea9cb – Diploma

xstream seems to be trying to hack Tree.comparator, seems to be tracked here: github.com/x-stream/xstream/issues/101 . That said, I would have expected an "Illegal reflective access" warning rather than InaccessibleObjectException. Is Jenkins run with --illegal-access=deny ? – Felske

Answer 1

The following post gives a generic overview of the problem and discusses a workaround that uses the --add-opens command line argument to java: https://mcmap.net/q/118297/-how-to-solve-inaccessibleobjectexception-quot-unable-to-make-member-accessible-module-a-does-not-39-opens-package-39-to-b-quot-on-java-9

Using multiple instances of that command line argument allowed me to avoid the exception from the question and similar exceptions raised by the Jenkins agent. Below are the exceptions I encountered and the corresponding arguments that allow the exceptions to be avoided.

Exceptions:

hudson.remoting.ProxyException: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private final java.util.Comparator java.util.TreeMap.comparator accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.util" to unnamed module @2c07c27c
hudson.remoting.ProxyException: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field protected java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler java.lang.reflect.Proxy.h accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.lang.reflect" to unnamed module @5f14797f
hudson.remoting.ProxyException: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make protected java.lang.String java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator$Attribute.getName() accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.text" to unnamed module @1bd564bd
hudson.remoting.ProxyException: java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private static final java.util.Map java.awt.font.TextAttribute.instanceMap accessible: module java.desktop does not "opens java.awt.font" to unnamed module @e93c28

Command Line Arguments:

--add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.desktop/java.awt.font=ALL-UNNAMED

Here's the agent launch command altogether:

java --add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.desktop/java.awt.font=ALL-UNNAMED -jar agent.jar -jnlpUrl https://<Jenkins URL>/computer/<Node Identifier>/slave-agent.jnlp  -secret <Secret Value> -workDir "<Work Dir>"

Note: I'm using openjdk 11 and Jenkins 2.263.2

Answer 2

If you are getting BeanException error or Exception initization error it is still not resolved then change your JDK install JDK 1.8 or 9 Exception How to set Eclipse/STS -> Windows ->Preferences ->Java -> Installed JRE-> Add-> Select the directory where you download the JDK (default c:/programFiles/Java/jre1.8) . click next -> select jre1.8->Apply

It resolved for me
