impossible bump com.bugsnag:bugsnag-spring from 3.8.0 to 4.0.0

[dbouclier]

Describe the bug

After upgrading com.bugsnag:bugsnag-spring from 3.8.0 to 4.0.0, our build fails to compile any class that references the documented com.bugsnag.Bugsnag entry point:

error: cannot find symbol
import com.bugsnag.Bugsnag;

No code change on our side, only the version bump.

I'm getting confused by https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-java/blob/v4.0.0/UPGRADING.md still recommends:

 @Configuration
 @Import(BugsnagSpringConfiguration.class)
 public class BugsnagConfig {
     @Bean
     public Bugsnag bugsnag() {
         return new Bugsnag("your-api-key-here");
     }
 }

But that code does not compile against bugsnag-spring:4.0.0 alone

Expected behavior

bugsnag-spring should expose the core com.bugsnag:bugsnag artifact on the compile classpath of consumers, as it did in 3.8.0 and as the documented usage requires.

Environment

• Gradle 9+, JDK 21+

Thanks for taking a look.

Hi @dbouclier,

Thanks for highlighting this. Our engineers will look to re-add com.bugsnag:bugsnag as a dependency of bugsnag-spring. We will let you know once this has been released.

In the meantime, you can import both separately:

implementation("com.bugsnag:bugsnag:4.0.0")
implementation("com.bugsnag:bugsnag-spring:4.0.0");
