I have the following code (reduced to a minimum working example):
(ns timer.core (:gen-class))
(defn handle2 [x]
(if (string? x) (Integer/parseInt x) x))
(defn -main
([max-time]
(println (format "Going to sleep %d seconds" (handle2 max-time)))
(let [sleep-time (* (handle2 max-time) 1000)]
(Thread/sleep sleep-time)
(println (format "Waken up"))))
([] (-main 10)))
that works in the cider REPl on emacs and also works with > lein run
on a windows terminal (x64 Native Command Prompt for VS 2022) and also can be compiled into an uberjar with leiningen and calling the java -jar
command works. All the previous work with or without the max-time
argument, as it is expected.
But when I build a executable from the uberjar with the GraalVM using the command
> native-image --report-unsupported-elements-at-runtime --initialize-at-build-time -jar .\target\timer-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar -H:Name=timer-cli
although it compiles a timer-cli.exe
executable binary, this fails when is run with this error:
exp-timer-cli.exe
Going to sleep 10 seconds

with or without parameter. But if I substitute (handle2 max-time)
by an actual number (let's say 2), the program works, but of course with the hardcoded variable as sleep time, and prints the parameter value on the message string.
Does any one have experience with the GraalVM and knows why this happens? And how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
Using:
- Leiningen 2.10.0 on Java 19.0.2 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM
- GraalVM 22.3.1
