SpringBoot Spring boot 3.1.0 native build (windows exe) won't start

Environment: Windows 11 spring-boot: 3.1.0 kotlin: 1.8.21 native-gradle-plugin: 0.9.22 graalvm: graalvm-ce-java19-22.3.1

Bug description: native compile ends without errors, but when starting the exe version, an error occurs:

com.oracle.svm.core.jdk.UnsupportedFeatureError: No classes have been predefined during the image build to load from bytecodes at runtime.
        at org.graalvm.nativeimage.builder/com.oracle.svm.core.util.VMError.unsupportedFeature(VMError.java:89) ~[na:na]

        at org.graalvm.nativeimage.builder/com.oracle.svm.core.hub.PredefinedClassesSupport.loadClass(PredefinedClassesSupport.java:130) ~[na:na]

Regression: works fine with spring-boot 3.0.7 and exactly the same environment and code

with each new spring-boot version, the native build does not work !?!

This looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/30492. Can you please try with 6.0.10-SNAPSHOT of Spring Framework that is available for https://repo.spring.io/snapshot.

Comment From: ghost

an error occurs with the patch: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid logger interface org.hibernate.dialect.DialectLogging (implementation not found in jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader@45c8e616)

which is related probably with https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/5626 and/or https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/6526

I will start to cry

Comment From: edeandrea

Confirming I'm seeing the same thing described in this issue and that upgrading spring framework version to 6.0.10-SNAPSHOT produces the following error when running in native:

Comment From: wilkinsona

That should be addressed by https://github.com/oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata/commit/4629271f9249c37cb511a396f9e02b7d471ca64d.

Comment From: edeandrea

Thank you @wilkinsona . Is there a way for me to pull that into one of my projects?

Comment From: wilkinsona

IIRC, the documentation for the NBT Maven and Gradle plugins describes how to override the metadata version that's used.

Comment From: edeandrea

Thank you again. Using Spring Framework 6.0.10-SNAPSHOT with the graalvm-reachability-metadata 0.3.1 does not fix the problem (still produces the error I posted above). I'll wait for a new Spring Boot version that will hopefully resolve it.

Comment From: wilkinsona

Waiting is unlikely to result in a fix. If Hibernate's unable to load a type reflectively, that will have to be addressed in the reachability metadata. You many want to report the problem there.

Comment From: edeandrea

I can do that and blindly copy/paste this error there/configuration there, but I'm not really sure/familiar with what the reachability metadata even is. All I know is that my Spring Boot 3.1 app doesn't work because of something under the covers, which from my perspective is a black box.
