Incompatibility with AsyncWorldEditInjector

[GedeonGrays]

Hello o/ I have a compatibility problem with AsyncWorldEditInjector.

Environment:

Server version: Uranium 1710-dev-5-B285-87f3435 BanManager version: Bukkit 7.6.0 AsyncWorldEdit version: 3.5.4 (the most up-to-date version for Cauldron-like servers) AsyncWorldEditInjector version: 3.5.2 (automatically installed by AWE)

My actions:

As stated in the AWE installation instructions, I put the automatically installed AsyncWorldEditInjector into the mods folder (otherwise WE commands would not work on the server). After starting the server BanManager reported the following error:

[00:58:44] [Server thread/ERROR]: Error occurred while enabling BanManager v7.6.0 (Is it up to date?)

Of course, without AsyncWorldEditInjector BanManager works fine.

P. S. I am using BanManager version 7.6.0, not the latest, due to the problem mentioned by @Letboes in the #support channel of your Discord server. P. P. S. I understand that I probably should have asked the AWE developers for a fix, but I'm afraid they no longer support 1.7.10. So thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for the detailed bug! Looking at the stack trace, it appears to be a similar issue with other plugins which change/break resource loading. AsyncWorldEditInjector appears to be open source, so I'll take a look to see if I can track down what exactly is causing this.

@GedeonGrays This should now be resolved in the latest developer version. Can you please try updating and paste the output of what error is shown now?

I'm expecting a message like Unable to start BanManager as X has broken resource loading forcing BanManager to load their plugin.yml file; please alert the author to resolve this issue

I've looked into AsyncWorldEditInjector and it appears to contain a lot of reflection, hypothesis is it's somehow overriding a class which is causing this problem 🤔

Sure, I'll check it out soon.

Yep, when starting the server with the latest developer version of BanManager and AWEInjector the following warning appears:

[05:54:24] [Server thread/WARN]: java.io.IOException: Unable to start BanManager as AsyncWorldEditInjector has broken resource loading forcing BanManager to load their plugin.yml file; please alert the author to resolve this issue

By the way, the same build of BanManager works fine without the AWEInjector, so the problem mentioned by @Letboes seems to be solved.
