IntelliCode and compilation failure due to Lombok configuration not detected since v1.12.0

[Bokoblin]

Hi,

We have a professional maven Spring Boot project with Lombok annotations that we are usually developing on IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, and for which we have no issues.
Some of our new team members would preferably use VSCode to work on this project.
For this purpose, I have tried playing with VSCode the past week.

I downloaded all mandatory extension and went for cloning the repository directly with VSCode so that there would be no potential clashes with my folder with intelliJ configuration.
At the end of the importing, I'm stuck with VSCode IntelliCode detecting 3K+ problems due to Lombok annotations not recognized, while "mvn compile" work fine.
I have spent the few last days trying different solutions looking at official documents, GitHub ticket and stackoverflow similar issues, from verifying that mandatory extensions were installed, resetting project after extension install, trying alternative extensions, explicitly mentioning lombok version instead of inheriting... to no avail.

A few minutes ago, though I tried downgrading "Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat" to 1.8.0 and something changed: I noticed this new bubble notification:

Once I clicked on it and reloaded the project, the errors start disappearing for the current file, and other files when clicking on errors individually. Once noticing that, I went back to 1.15.0 and the errors re-appeared.

Then, I went back one version each time to identify the first version with the problem:

• 1.15.0: broken -- not recognized, no bubble notification
• 1.14.0: broken -- not recognized, no bubble notification
• 1.13.0: broken -- not recognized, no bubble notification
• 1.12.0: broken -- not recognized, no bubble notification
• 1.11.0: working -- though no bubble notification

Thus, I strongly think there was a regression in 1.12.0 making that lombok cease working for a setup similar to mine or for the other extensions, on a given version, I have

Environment

• Operating System: MacOS 13.2.1

• JDK version: 17

• Visual Studio Code version: Version: 1.75.1 (Universal)

• Java extension version: 1.15.0

All extensions:

• Debugger for Java 0.48.0
• Extension Pack for Java 0.25.7
• IntelliCode 1.2.30
• IntelliJ IDEA Keybindings 1.5.5
• Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat 1.15.0
• Maven for Java 0.40.4
• Project Manager for Java 0.21.1
• Spring Boot dashboard 0.10.1
• Spring Boot Extension Pack 0.2.1
• Spring Boot Tools 1.44.0
• Spring Initializr Java Support 0.11.2
• Test Runner for Java 0.37.1

Steps To Reproduce

1. Clone repository
2. Watch the importing and auto compilation

Current Result

lombok annotations and related code not recognised, thus also failing compilation

The @CustomLog annotation is not configured; please set lombok.log.custom.declaration in lombok.config.
log cannot be resolved
The method userId() is undefined for the type XXX.YYY (it's a @Getter)
...

Expected Result

No IntelliCode problem detected

Additional Informations

Maven:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
            <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-configuration-processor</artifactId>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>

Lombok.config

lombok.data.flagUsage=warning
lombok.accessors.fluent=true

lombok.log.custom.declaration=com.xxx.YYY com.xxx.YYY.forEnclosingClass()

settings.json

{
    "java.compile.nullAnalysis.mode": "automatic"
}

Note:

• Lombok version (both extension and project) are detected in the {} tool bar. Alternating them does not do anything
• Might be related target/generated-sources/annotations is empty
• Other annotations (e.g. Spring boot ones) work perfectly

This issue is an upstream lombok issue.
@Bokoblin You may want to take a look at

• lombok.config ignored in 1.14.0 #2887 (comment)
• [Eclipse 4.27] Lombok ignores lombok.config projectlombok/lombok#3332

Hi @snjeza

Seems like the workaround works, thanks.
Hopefully, projectlombok/lombok#3347 will be merged soon for a potential 1.18.28 release

Lombok works fine for now (until something breaks again). Closing.
