Setting up development environment fails with gradle quarkusDev

[Koenkk]

Issue description

I'm trying to setup a local development environment for Nessie.

The first problem I ran into is after executing ./gradlew quarkusDev the UI is not accessible on http://localhost:19120. It looks to me that :nessie-quarkus does not start when running ./gradlew quarkusDev. This is solved by executing ./gradlew :nessie-quarkus:quarkusDev, am I doing something wrong or is the information in the README.md outdated?

Now that the UI is accessible, I run into a second problem. Whenever I open the UI I get the following error (in the terminal running ./gradlew :nessie-quarkus:quarkusDev):

I found a possible fix here: #8483 (comment) ( ./gradlew :nessie-protobuf-relocated:build) but this unfortunately does not help. How can I solve this?

@Koenkk thanks for reporting inconsistencies in README.

To unlock your local development, would it work for you to do ./gradlew :nessie-quarkus:assemble and then run java -jar servers/quarkus-server/build/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar from the command line?

@dimas-b thanks for your reply, I forgot to mention it in my post but this worked indeed (ran ./gradlew :nessie-quarkus:build and then java -jar quarkus-run.jar). However I would like to run it with qaurkusDev so I can quickly test out code changes and debug easily.

Once the UnsafeByteOperations error is fixed I can make a PR to update the README.md.

This is an issue in the Quarkus-Gradle plugin, that requires quite a lot of refactoring of the Quarkus-Gradle plugin.

That's a bit of a bummer, so if I understand correctly, there is no way to develop nessie-quarkus through quarkusDev? Doesn't that lead to a slow development cycle? Debugging becomes harder and the feedback cycle is slow (you need to rebuild it with ./gradlew :nessie-quarkus:assemble and restart it every time).

[snazy]

You can still debug tests in the IDE - and connecting to a running Quarkus instance w/ a debugger is also still possible.

Thanks, I've created a PR to update the README.md: #9668
