Google Cloud Vision crashes without exception caught - google-cloud-vision

Question

I recently encountering an annoying bug that only happen in 1 out of our 3 environments (Amazon EC2 to be specific). When I send a request to the Cloud API to receive tags about the picture. The function crashes but I don't see any exception caught by the try catch. The function works fine until June 1st but I don't know why it doesn't anymore (other 2 environments work just fine).
Here are the code:
try {
GoogleCredentials cred = GoogleCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream(coreConfig.googleCreds()));
log.error("GoogleCredentials cred = GoogleCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream(coreConfig.googleCreds()));");
ImageAnnotatorSettings imageAnnotatorSettings = ImageAnnotatorSettings.newBuilder()
.setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(cred))
.build();
ImageAnnotatorClient vision = ImageAnnotatorClient.create(imageAnnotatorSettings);
log.error("ImageAnnotatorClient vision = ImageAnnotatorClient.create(imageAnnotatorSettings);");
byte[] data = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
ByteString bs = ByteString.copyFrom(data);
// Builds the image annotation request
List<AnnotateImageRequest> requests = new ArrayList<>();
log.error("ByteString bs = ByteString.copyFrom(data);");
Image img = Image.newBuilder().setContent(bs).build();
log.error(" Image img = Image.newBuilder().setContent(bs).build();");
Feature feat = Feature.newBuilder().setType(Type.LABEL_DETECTION).build();
log.error("Feature feat = Feature.newBuilder().setType(Type.LABEL_DETECTION).build();");
AnnotateImageRequest request = AnnotateImageRequest.newBuilder()
.addFeatures(feat)
.setImage(img)
.build();
requests.add(request);
log.error("requests.add(request);");
// Performs label detection on the image file
BatchAnnotateImagesResponse response = vision.batchAnnotateImages(requests);
log.error("BatchAnnotateImagesResponse response = vision.batchAnnotateImages(requests);");
List<AnnotateImageResponse> responses = response.getResponsesList();
log.error("List<AnnotateImageResponse> responses = response.getResponsesList();");
for (AnnotateImageResponse res : responses) {
if (res.hasError()) {
throw new ServiceException(ServiceStatus.BAD_REQUEST, res.getError().getMessage());
}
for (EntityAnnotation annotation : res.getLabelAnnotationsList()) {
tags.append("===" + annotation.getDescription().replaceAll("\\s+",""));
log.error("tags.append(\"===\" + annotation.getDescription().replaceAll(\"\\\\s+\",\"\"));");
}
}
return tags;
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
log.error(e.getMessage());
return null;
// throw new ServiceException(ServiceStatus.BAD_REQUEST, e.getMessage());
}
Here are the details about it:

Answer 1

It seems like an old version of guava (in this case 17.0-jdk) caused this crash.
You still have to remove the old version not only from the pom.xml but also in the lib folder of the .war file.
