Xp.context.get() in a service gives cryptic error message

Bugs
1

Since services does not have a context running xp.context.get() fails.

Perhaps there could be a better error message than this:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/enonic/xp/lib/auth/PrincipalMapper

I think this is a bug with the building of lib-context in XP. It depends on a class that is in lib-auth.
It will probably work if you add lib-auth dependency in your build.gradle, even if you don’t use it. Can you check?

include "com.enonic.xp:lib-auth:${xpVersion}"

Services should have a context, the context.get() function should work from a service.

I will check. I get the same message even when I’m using run in context.

That fixed when using run in context. Checking without context now.

5

Yup that fixed it for normal service without using run in context too.

Ok, thanks. I will register this as a bug. It should not be necessary to include lib-auth for using lib-context, but that is the workaround for now.
