[FIXED] Apche beam Class Not Found Exception: Jackson

Issue

I was upgrading my apache beam pipeline version 2.27.0 to the latest version 2.41.0 When I run my pipeline I got this error:

I have included the jackson core dependency but yet same error

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.12.3</version>
        </dependency>

Note that before upgrading the apache beam version the pipeline was running without this dependency

Solution

I have solved the problem it is not enough to add jackson-core and jackson-databind dependencies you need to add jackson-annotations also ensure that the version is >= 2.12.0 which includes the ToStringSerializerBase:

In your pom.xml:

<jackson.version>2.13.4</jackson.version>

<dependency>
     <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
     <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
     <version>${jackson.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
     <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
     <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
     <version>${jackson.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
     <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
     <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
     <version>${jackson.version}</version>
</dependency>
