Issues deploying Hilla on Fly.io, with Paketo

Hilla
1

Hi all!

I’ve been trying to deploy Hilla on Fly.io, using Paketo buildpacks.

However, I get some intermittent errors, and the latest example is here - it’s a Spring Boot app.

I was just curious if anyone had any ideas on how to resolve this? The app needs to be a native image, so I can scale from zero when the app is first hit.

Thank you!

Hi @shymega ,

You mentioned the error being intermittent. Have you been able to complete a successful build/deploy?

What’s the error you get?

Here’s a Dockerfile and GH workflow I’ve used to publish a GraalVM native Hilla app to fly.io:

Hey! I’ve never had a successful build. It sometimes presents different errors on each fix I try.

The current error logs (below) is on the current config, which should be sane. At this point, I’m wondering if it’s a Paketo bug.

The recurring error is as follows. I believe it’s a bug, but I can see the Hilla Maven plugin goal referenced in the log is just extended from Flow - hence why I mentioned it on GitHub:

Just looking at your exception; I’ve got a strong feeling you are using outdated libraries - like your commons-io. Please update to the latest version.

I’m not currently using commons-io in my POM, but it might be pulled in by Spring or Hilia.

I’m currently using JDK 21, and the latest versions of Hilla (?) & Spring.

I did try and downgrade to the versions in @marcushellberg’s POM, with the same error.

This is using Paketo Buildpacks, which I’d prefer to keep intact.

You can check with mvn -X the full stack trace. It would probably also help to just specify the dependency then. Looks like a missmatch; commons-io is widely used.

Sorry for the delay. In the end, I went back to Vaadin. I am going to push the last commit where it used Hilla (and broken) to a separate, minimal repository on GitHub. I’ll get that done this weekend. This should be useful to debug in an isolated, reproducible environment.

I’ve identified another issue on a different project. I can’t share the sources of this, but in this case, running Paketo CLI directly, I get a very different error.

The command used to generate the project was via the CLI. This was the command: npx @hilla/cli init --preset=hilla-crm-tutorial $projectdir, where $projectdir is the name of the project’s directory.

This is the stack trace from the freshly created Hilla project (using the CLI):

Double check that the plugin is executed correctly -> [Help 1]

I can’t help but wonder if I need to make an upstream issue for these two bugs. The forums are a good place for troubleshooting, but given the commons-io error, and then the vite.js error, I think this is something more sets of eyes need to investigate. Of course, it’s not up to me what the priority is; as a maintainer myself, I understand this. But possibly worth investigating.
