Unpredictable reactive controller behavior.

Describe the bug

I decided to refactor one of my service written in quarkus from blocking io to reactive manner.

I have many mock controller which works perfectly before refactor but now some of them throws errors:

For example this controller doesn’t work:

package pl.test.rest.recaptcha;

import io.smallrye.mutiny.Uni;
import pl.test.rest.recaptcha.model.SiteVerifyResponse;

import javax.ws.rs.*;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import java.util.Date;

@Path("/recaptcha/api/siteverify")
public class MockResource {
    @POST
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
    public Uni<SiteVerifyResponse> siteVerify(@FormParam("response") String response
            , @FormParam("secret") String secret, @FormParam("remoteip") String remoteip) {
        return Uni.createFrom().item(SiteVerifyResponse.builder()
                .success(true)
                .score((float) 1.0)
                .action("ACTION")
                .hostname("localhost")
                .challengeTs(new Date())
                .build());
    }
}

But this work’s:

package pl.test.rest.dotpay;

import io.smallrye.mutiny.Uni;
import lombok.val;
import pl.test.rest.dotpay.model.PaymentEntry;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;

@Path("/s2/login/api/purchase_history/")
public class MockResource {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Uni<List<PaymentEntry>> api(@QueryParam("email") String email) {
        return Uni.createFrom().item(Collections.singletonList(createPaymentEntry()));
    }

    private PaymentEntry createPaymentEntry() {
        val entry = new PaymentEntry();
        entry.setDate("2018-06-09T16:54:15.855823");
        entry.setAmount("8.29");
        entry.setCurrency("PLN");
        entry.setStatus("completed");
        entry.setRequestIp("188.146.162.128");
        entry.setMcc("4112");
        entry.setChannel("73");
        entry.setMerchantId("5d51e2dc7bc76cf9841d82ba404d134646bdbd97");

        return entry;
    }
}

The one thing what I’am done in refactor is change the return type to new one with wrapper Uni.

I found on network similar error: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/runs/3204982867
