jackson-databind: Registration of `jackson-datatype-jsr310` not working in Jackson 2.12.0

Describe the bug On 2.12.0 (2.11.3 doesn’t have this bug), findAndRegisterModules does not work for com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: Java 8 date/time type `java.time.Duration` not supported by default: add Module "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310" to enable handling

Version information 2.12.0 on Java 11

To Reproduce

private static class TestObject {
	private TestObject(@JsonProperty("duration") Duration duration) {

	}
}

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.findAndRegisterModules();
mapper.readValue("{ \"duration\": \"PT5M\" }", TestObject.class);

Expected behavior It should find the module and not throw the error above.

Additional context I tried putting my code in a JUnit5 test, and it passed perfectly, so this bug isn’t something that can be detected by unit tests. I’m using the shadow gradle plugin to compile my code into a fat jar, so something changed between 2.11 and 2.12 that causes this.

Also, adding the line mapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule()); fixes it, so I can guarantee that it exists on my classpath.

I wish I had some more info on why this is happening, but seeing how I can’t reproduce this in a unit test, I don’t really have any idea what the problem is.

Adding dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-datatype-jdk8</artifactId>
</dependency>

helps me to solve the issue.

For future reference for those using the shadow plugin to build their jars, just add mergeServiceFiles() to your shadowJar { } config. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32887966/shadow-plugin-gradle-what-does-mergeservicefiles-do#32902274

That was an incredibly simple fix.

If I find the time, I’ll try creating a project that creates a jar file with this problem since I can’t reproduce it in a simple unit test, either.

Like I said, if I use these dependencies:

api "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.12.0"
api "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.12.0"
api "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.12.0"
api "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310:2.11.3"

It does work. But if I use

api "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.12.0"
api "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.12.0"
api "com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.12.0"
api "com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310:2.12.0" // change here

It does not work.

There’s also a possibility that this error doesn’t come up if you’re using Java 8 (I tested with Java 11).

It’s possible I’ll find the time sometime in the next day, or next few days. I don’t really have an idea right now.
