### Apache Hop version? 2.7.0 (2023-11-17 12.19.09) ### Java version? openjdk 11.0.20 2023-07-18 LTS ### Operating system Windows ### What happened? Priority = 1 because "important component is nonfunctional". I set up a pipeline (parent pipeline) that runs two other pipelines (sub-pipelines) via the "Pipeline Executor" component. The first sub-pipeline will execute fine if its results are directed to a "Dummy (Do Nothing)" component. However, an error message is observed if the results are directed to the second sub-pipeline. I believe this behavior persists for any data passed from one pipeline executor to another within a parent pipeline. Here is the error: ```bash 2023/12/19 02:16:19 - Hop - Projects enabled 2023/12/19 02:16:19 - Hop - Enabling project : 'example_project' 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - parent_pipeline - Executing this pipeline using the Local Pipeline Engine with run configuration 'local' 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - parent_pipeline - Execution started for pipeline [parent_pipeline] 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - start.0 - Finished processing (I=0, O=0, R=0, W=1, U=0, E=0) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_1 - Executing this pipeline using the Local Pipeline Engine with run configuration 'local' 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_1 - Execution started for pipeline [sub_pipeline_1] 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - Generate rows.0 - Finished processing (I=0, O=0, R=0, W=10, U=0, E=0) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - Copy rows to result.0 - Finished processing (I=0, O=0, R=10, W=10, U=0, E=0) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_1 - Pipeline duration : 0.107 seconds [ 0.107" ] 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_1 - Execution finished on a local pipeline engine with run configuration 'local' 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2 - Executing this pipeline using the Local Pipeline Engine with run configuration 'local' 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2 - Execution started for pipeline [sub_pipeline_2] 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - ERROR: Unexpected error 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - ERROR: org.apache.hop.core.exception.HopException: 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - There was an unexpected error: 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - class java.lang.Class cannot be cast to class java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType (java.lang.Class and java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap') 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.transforms.pipelineexecutor.PipelineExecutor.processRow(PipelineExecutor.java:158) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.transform.RunThread.run(RunThread.java:55) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:829) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Class cannot be cast to class java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType (java.lang.Class and java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap') 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.transform.BaseTransformMeta.createTransformData(BaseTransformMeta.java:131) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.Pipeline.prepareExecution(Pipeline.java:823) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.engines.local.LocalPipelineEngine.prepareExecution(LocalPipelineEngine.java:236) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.transforms.pipelineexecutor.PipelineExecutor.executePipeline(PipelineExecutor.java:254) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - at org.apache.hop.pipeline.transforms.pipelineexecutor.PipelineExecutor.processRow(PipelineExecutor.java:152) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - ... 2 more 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_2.hpl.0 - Finished processing (I=0, O=0, R=1, W=0, U=0, E=1) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - parent_pipeline - Pipeline detected one or more transforms with errors. 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - parent_pipeline - Pipeline is killing the other transforms! 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - sub_pipeline_1.hpl.0 - Finished processing (I=0, O=0, R=1, W=10, U=0, E=0) 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - parent_pipeline - Pipeline duration : 0.465 seconds [ 0.465" ] 2023/12/19 02:16:44 - parent_pipeline - Execution finished on a local pipeline engine with run configuration 'local' ``` An exactly analogous setup in Spoon (General Availability Release - 9.4.0.0-343) throws no errors. I've attached a compressed .zip file of the example: [example.zip](https://github.com/apache/hop/files/13713694/example.zip). Note that to observe the behavior you should: 1. unzip the `example.zip`. 2. run `hop-gui.bat`. 3. open the `../example/parent_pipeline.hpl` pipeline. 4. ensure that the paths to `sub_pipeline_1.hpl` and `sub_pipeline_2.hpl` resolve correctly within the respective `Pipeline Executor` components. 5. preview rows for the `Dummy (Do Nothing)` component - observe that there are no errors. 6. disable the hop between `sub_pipeline_1.hpl` and `Dummy (Do Nothing)`. 7. DELETE and then reestablish a hop between `sub_pipeline_1.hpl` and `sub_pipeline_2.hpl`, choosing option = `This output will contain the result rows after execution`. 8. enable the hop between `sub_pipeline_2.hpl` and `Dummy (Do Nothing)`. 9. again preview rows for the `Dummy (Do Nothing)` component - observe the error from above. ### Issue Priority Priority: 1 ### Issue Component Component: Pipelines -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
