Proguard fails to create output jar (again)

Ask a Question
1

Hi, I’m trying to run proguard on kryo-4.0.1.jar.
Here is the script I’m using:

wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/esotericsoftware/kryo/4.0.1/kryo-4.0.1.jar 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
echo "-injars  kryo-4.0.1.jar"   > config.pro
echo "-outjars output.jar"      >> config.pro
echo "-keep class * { *; } "    >> config.pro
echo "-allowaccessmodification" >> config.pro
java -jar ../proguard/lib/proguard.jar -dontwarn @config.pro

I’m mostly interested in optimization (minification is optional for me).
I’m trying to have the minimal config.pro that will contain the optimizations
listed here: lynket-browser/proguard-rules.pro at 2.1.3 · arunkumar9t2/lynket-browser · GitHub.

Problem: proguard fails:

Hi,

It seems there are some classes missing form the input which you will need to add by using -injars or -libraryjars. The warnings in the build log might provide additional information on the missing input, can you please share the full build log?

This issue along with information on how to tackle it, is documented in the ProGuard manual under “Warning: can’t find superclass or interface Warning: can’t find referenced class”, here: https://www.guardsquare.com/manual/troubleshooting/troubleshooting

Kind regards,
Jonas

Hi,

I cannot see any warnings in your build log related to this issue (or any other warnings). Is it possible you have -dontwarn statements in your ProGuard configuration? If so, please comment these out.

It seems you are using ProGuard v7.1.0-beta2, please note this build is broken so it’s recommended to upgrade to ProGuard v7.1.0-beta3. Another benefit from upgrading to the latest beta is a more user friendly error for this issue mentioning exactly what the known super class are and thus giving a hint on what jar is missing from the input. You will need to add this missing jar to the input using either -injars or -libraryjars. If you have any difficulty in tackling the issue using the new beta, please do not hesitate to paste the newly generated build log in this thread.

Kind regards,

Jonas
