Hi everybody,

When trying to layout or convert a graph to JSON format, I get the following error :

2019-01-31 10:02:53,032 [AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR GENERAL - Unhandled exception - Couldn't clone property 'org.eclipse.elk.junctionPoints'. Make sure it's type is registered with the ElkReflect utility class.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Couldn't clone property 'org.eclipse.elk.junctionPoints'. Make sure it's type is registered with the ElkReflect utility class.
at org.eclipse.elk.graph.properties.Property.getDefault(Property.java:140)

The error above happened when trying to convert the graph to a JSON. The same message occured, but with "org.eclipse.elk.nodeLabels.padding" instead of "org.eclipse.elk.junctionPoints", when trying to layout the graph with LayeredLayoutProvider.

This doesn't happen when I'm operating over a simple graph (5 nodes, 6 edges, some ports), but happens on a more complex graph (built by iterating over a SysML model).

How should I proceed so that "types are registered with the ElkReflect utility class", as the error message says ? Is it a dependency problem or does it have to something to do with the graph construction process ?
I'm only using basic ELK functions for constructing my graph (ElkGraphFactory.createElkNode, ElkGraphFactory.createSElkPort, ElkGraphUtil.createSimpleEdge).

Thanks in advance

In what context are you using ELK? As Eclipse plugin, or standalone Java?

I'm using ELK in a standalone Java application.

I should also mention that the environment setup is a bit peculiar, and the ELK .jar were not implicitly part of the environment so I had to import them by hand.
The simpler case I mentioned (with a small graph of 5 nodes, 6 edges) took place in another standalone Java app where the environment was more usual and the import of ELK could be done normally as ELK was implicitly part of the environment.

My understanding is that my bug stems from the fact that ELK tries to access classes that are part of the org.eclipse.elk package, however my class path only contains subpackaees such as org.eclipse.elk.alg or org.eclipse.elk.core.
This makes me think I should import the whole org.eclipse.elk package, but I can't find it anywhere. Does this mean my import approach should be different ?

You need to initialize the layout metadata service with the algorithm you'd like to use:

LayoutMetaDataService.getInstance().registerLayoutMetaDataProviders(
		new ForceMetaDataProvider(),
		new LayeredMetaDataProvider(),
		new MrTreeMetaDataProvider(),
		new RadialMetaDataProvider(),
		new StressMetaDataProvider(),
		new PolyominoOptions(),
		new DisCoMetaDataProvider(),
		new SporeMetaDataProvider()
)
