OTel dependency convergence issue #819
Description
Since version 1.3.1, there is a dependency convergence error when trying to use the io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel dependency :
+-<my_module>
+-io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel:jar:1.3.1:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk:jar:1.37.0:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk-metrics:jar:1.37.0:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubator:jar:1.37.0-alpha:runtime
and
+-<my_module>
+-io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel:jar:1.3.1:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk:jar:1.37.0:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk-logs:jar:1.37.0:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubator:jar:1.37.0-alpha:runtime
and
+-<my_module>
+-io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel:jar:1.3.1:compile
+-io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-instrumentation-api-semconv:jar:1.33.3-alpha:compile
+-io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-instrumentation-api:jar:1.33.3:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubator:jar:1.38.0-alpha:runtime
and
+-<my_module>
+-io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel:jar:1.3.1:compile
+-io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-instrumentation-api-semconv:jar:1.33.3-alpha:compile
+-io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubator:jar:1.38.0-alpha:runtime
io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubator is present both in 1.37-0-alpha and 1.38.0-alpha through different dependency paths.
It seems the problem appeared since version 1.3.1 as I do not reproduce it when using version 1.3.0.
It is still present on the latest 1.3.3 version.
For projects using enforcer plugins, this is inconvenient as it forces to downgrade the version of the dependency (which is, in my case, managed by Spring Boot), or to exclude/include one of the transitive dependency. Unfortunately, neither option is ideal.
The solution would be either :
- to use the
1.33.2-alphaversion ofopentelemetry-instrumentation-api-semconvdependency instead of1.33.3-alpha, so thatio.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubatorare in both cases in1.37.0-alpha - to use the
1.38.0version ofopentelemetry-sdkdependency instead of1.37.0so thatio.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-api-incubatorare in both cases in1.38.0-alpha
Also, it might be a good idea to introduce such enforcer plugin on the project so that it doesn't happen again in the future.
