Hello,

I'm using XDocReport/ Velocity.
when i try to load : metadata.load("StudyAndProfessionalPhoto", StudyAndProfessionalProjectDocsDTO.class, true);

i get this exception.

fr.opensagres.xdocreport.core.XDocReportException: Cannot find serializer. Please set the template engine FieldsMetadata#setTemplateEngineKind(String templateEngineKind) before calling this method.
at fr.opensagres.xdocreport.template.formatter.FieldsMetadata.load(FieldsMetadata.java:565)

if ( serializer == null )
{
throw new XDocReportException(
"Cannot find serializer. Please set the template engine FieldsMetadata#setTemplateEngineKind(String templateEngineKind) before calling this method." );
}

how can i initialize the "serializer" please ?

Have you added template engine library on your classpath?

Sorry for bumping this, but what do you mean added it to your classpath? I added the Apache Velocity template engine to my dependencies, but it still doesn't seem to register and I get the same error.

Edit:
Had to add this line to my gradle file.

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/fr.opensagres.xdocreport/fr.opensagres.xdocreport.template.velocity
compile group: 'fr.opensagres.xdocreport', name: 'fr.opensagres.xdocreport.template.velocity', version: '2.0.2'

After adding this line to gradle buidl file have you resolved?
I'm not using anymore this library, because the project has been suspended

Indeed there are not a lot of activity but the project lives with external contributions. If you need some evolution, please contribute it.
