Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2977: ----------------------------------- We have unit tests for exactly this from TIKA-1700, but it doesn't seem to be applied in tika-app nor tika-server. > Tika should throw an exception if a custom parser specified in > tika-config.xml can't be loaded > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-2977 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2977 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Tim Allison > Assignee: Tim Allison > Priority: Major > > If you start tika-server and specify a custom parser class in tika-config > _but_ you don't then include that jar on the classpath, tika-server silently > fails. > I initially thought that we should make sure that it respects the service > loader problem handler (e.g. <service-loader > initializableProblemHandler="throw"/>), but this isn't service loading. If a > user specifies a parser that can't be loaded, we should throw an exception. > WDYT? > This also affects tika-app in regular and batch mode. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
