After migrating to 0.9.12, Getting exception : org.reflections.RflectionException: Scanner SubTypeScanner was not configured , even after configuring the scanner.

I was using 0.9.11 and with scanners it was working fine. but by just changing the version to 0.9.12 , stared getting the exception for “org.reflections.RflectionException: Scanner SubTypeScanner was not configured”.

Reflections reflections = new Reflections(new ConfigurationBuilder()
     .setUrls(ClasspathHelper.forPackage("my.project.prefix"))
     .setScanners(new SubTypesScanner(), new TypeAnnotationsScanner()),
     .filterInputsBy(new FilterBuilder().includePackage("my.project.prefix"))
     );

reflections.getSubTypesOf(someClass);  // here it throws exception 

I noticed that, when I add a class which extend some class to the package, this error goes. Same with FieldAnnotationScanner , or any other scanner.

To try , please provide an invalid package for reflection creation, you will see all these errors coming even after configuring all scanners with reflection

Guys please be aware that we are on an open source platform and this developer did some free work so you don’t have to do it yourself. I also wait for a fix, but we do not know the circumstances why the developer is currently not as responsive as in the past(maybe he currently does a world trip or has personal issues, how knows).

There are currently 569 forks of this project, maybe someone has already found a fix or you can fork it yourself and investigate it. Or you can try https://github.com/aschoerk/reflections8 as suggested above.

What’s the status here? This is a breaking issue that’s been open for 5-6 months now, and the pr to fix it got closed without an update?
