Custom filter plugin creation error: logstash

Hi

I need to create a custom filter plugin in logstash to create new ruby events...

bundle install was success but while running bundle exec rspec, I get the following errors

you might need to reinstall the gem which depends on the missing jar or in case there is Jars.lock then resolve the jars with lock_jars command

And doing lock_jars , I get the following error

Is there any other dependency to install logstash filter plugin

My jruby version

jruby 1.7.25 (1.9.3p551) 2016-04-13 867cb81 on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_111-b14 +jit [linux-amd64]

I am using centos 7

Any help would be appreciated

Hello,
I presume you did use our plugin generator or the example repo to bootstrap your plugin?
From the error, I believe the spec_helper in your project is missing a require.

Can you check if the first line in your spec_helper is this line? If its not can you add it?

require "logstash/devutils/rspec/spec_helper"

Thanks

Thanks

And I got the solution by installing maven and install JARS_DEPENDENCY gem by using JARS_DEBUG=true
