GraalVM - Tracing Agent, GraalVM Gradle Plugin, and Spring Boot

A very simple application that uses the GraalVM Gradle Plugin to run the tracing agent against a very simple Spring Boot application.

In this example, the processTestAot Gradle task fails with the following error.

...

Technology stack used

• GraalVM 22.3.2 and Java 17
• Spring Boot 3.0.6
• GraalVM Gradle Plugin 0.9.21

Reproduce problem

1. (Optional) Test the application

   $ ./gradlew clean check

   All tests should pass.

2. Use the assisted configuration with tracing agent

   $ ./gradlew clean -Pagent check

   Unfortunately this fails
