Getter not found for property: ${name}

Error message

Getter not found for property: ${name}

What it means

OneDev's patched Hibernate Validator resolves property values reflectively when evaluating a ShowCondition. It first looks up a getter by property name, then falls back to matching getters by their editable display name. If neither lookup succeeds, it throws this ExplicitException because the referenced property cannot be resolved on the bean class.

Solutions

1. Check the property name referenced in the @ShowCondition property list and correct it to an existing getter name on the bean class.
2. Add or fix the getter (getX()/isX()) for the referenced property on the bean.
3. If matching by display name, ensure the @Editable display name exactly equals the referenced name.
4. Rebuild the module so the edited bean class is hot-reloaded by the dev server.

Example fix

// before
@ShowCondition(property="enableTlsEnabled")
// after
@ShowCondition(property="enableTls")  // matches existing getter isEnableTls()

// Before building the bean/form, verify every @ShowCondition-referenced name has a getter:
for (Method m : beanClass.getDeclaredMethods()) {
    ShowCondition sc = m.getAnnotation(ShowCondition.class);
    if (sc != null)
        for (String name : sc.property())
            if (BeanUtils.findGetter(beanClass, name) == null)
                throw new IllegalStateException("ShowCondition references unknown property: " + name);
}

boolean hasGetter(Class<?> cls, String name) { return BeanUtils.findGetter(cls, name) != null; }

When it happens

Trigger: The name passed to EditContext.getInputValue (referenced from a @ShowCondition-annotated property) matches no getter on the bean class, and no getter's EditableUtils display name equals it — typically a typo or a renamed/removed property in the referenced property list of a ShowCondition.

Common situations: Renaming a bean property without updating the property name referenced in @ShowCondition; using a field with no standard getX()/isX() getter; referencing a property by its label when the label text differs in case or whitespace from the display name.
