Mar 1, 2025Month: 2025-03 — SDA-SE/sda-dropwizard-commons. Delivered targeted build/tooling stabilization and Kafka-related improvements, with a proactive risk mitigation for Java 23 compatibility. Key outcomes include: (1) Build Tooling and Dependency Stability: stabilized and modernized the build and test tooling by upgrading the Gradle wrapper to 8.13, aligning Jacoco to Java 23 support (0.8.12), and updating the CI base image to ensure Flyway-related dependencies remain compatible; resolved an antlr4 conflict introduced by the Flyway upgrade. Commits exemplifying this work include fix(deps): manage antlr4 due to conflict introduced by Flyway upgrade (4648de150325abcfcbaf951ba887afbc76e508aa), chore(deps): bump gradle to 8.13 (1d866e1765a35b2ae946cff4fcb1be83f21c6d21), chore(deps): use latest Jacoco version 0.8.12 to support Java 23 (9039406d7cdf10e6bb64580497acd6c5144e01cb), and chore(deps): run latest build with older ubuntu to support Flapdoodle and older MongoDB versions (3352ce474846a18a22cd609d87a421eb25090b9b). (2) Kafka integration and testing enhancements: expanded user-facing guidance and test readiness for Kafka integration with OAuth bearer authentication, added validation resources, and refined test expectations for reliability. Notable commits include docs(server-kafka): describe how a Kafka connection with OAuth bearer authentication can be configured (2dcfca2a81aa1e564d7e4c30971b32a049e1f1ed), test(server-kafka): rename expectation file (8a4941dd7c940c1a4beada87d30b5b922a4f5790), and docs(server-kafka): fix typo (9edbd0bb55d9d00c649873849559b51ece85099d). (3) Major risk mitigation: temporarily disable Kafka tests on Java 23 due to SecurityManager issues, with a plan to re-enable once compatibility is resolved (commit: test(kafka): disable tests for Java 23 because issue is addressed in Apache Kafka — 49b60f5ae35b1455681f73e2b6dfc96579fd558a). Overall, these efforts reduce release risk, improve test reliability and developer productivity, and establish Java 23 readiness paths while maintaining business-critical Kafka functionality. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Gradle build tooling and dependency management, Jacoco coverage for Java 23, CI pipeline stability, Kafka integration and testing, OAuth authentication documentation, test resource orchestration, Java 23 compatibility strategies, and proactive issue triage and risk mitigation.
