quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope considered a build time property

[manofthepeace]

Describe the bug

https://quarkus.io/guides/all-config shows it is not fixed a built time. It also does work when I override it at runtime

2025-08-28 19:52:51,907 WARN [io.qua.run.configuration.ConfigRecorder] (Quarkus Main Thread) Build time property cannot be changed at runtime:

• quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope is set to 'request-response' but it is build time fixed to 'none'. Did you change the property quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope after building the application?

Expected behavior

warn should not show

Actual behavior

log shows

How to Reproduce?

Change quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope to request-response at runtime

I could not reproduce the problem. What version of Quarkus are you using? Are you doing anything special that we should know about?

[manofthepeace]

@geoand sorry for not adding a reproducer. I thought it would simply happen, and it does not.

It only happens native, when quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope=none is set in the application.properties

How I reproduced;
1- code.quarkus.io, select rest-client-jackson
2- add quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope=none to application.properties
3- ./mvnw clean package -Pnative
4- QUARKUS_REST_CLIENT_LOGGING_SCOPE=request-response ./target/log-scope-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner

Thanks @manofthepeace!

It seems to happen even without native image, so the key is to have quarkus.rest-client.logging.scope=none in application.properties and then start with QUARKUS_REST_CLIENT_LOGGING_SCOPE=request-response.

@radcortez any idea what's going on?

The way that .scope is defined seems to be a total mess. It is declared as both a build time and runtime config:

• quarkus/extensions/resteasy-classic/rest-client-config/runtime/src/main/java/io/quarkus/restclient/config/RestClientsBuildTimeConfig.java

  Line 55 in 5a2d46c

  Optional<String> scope();

• quarkus/extensions/resteasy-classic/rest-client-config/runtime/src/main/java/io/quarkus/restclient/config/RestClientsConfig.java

  Line 200 in f5ddecc

  Optional<String> scope();

It has direct usages:

quarkus/extensions/resteasy-reactive/rest-client/deployment/src/main/java/io/quarkus/rest/client/reactive/deployment/RestClientReactiveProcessor.java

Line 445 in 96c9b99

Optional<String> cdiScope = clientsConfig.clients().get(configKeyName).scope();

And manual lookups:

quarkus/extensions/resteasy-classic/rest-client-config/deployment/src/main/java/io/quarkus/restclient/config/deployment/RestClientConfigUtils.java

Lines 32 to 62 in 4f31e0d

	public static Optional<String> findConfiguredScope(Config config, ClassInfo restClientInterface,
	Optional<String> configKeyOptional) {
	Optional<String> scopeConfig;
	// quarkus style config; fully qualified class name
	scopeConfig = config.getOptionalValue(
	String.format(QUARKUS_REST_SCOPE_FORMAT, '"' + restClientInterface.name().toString() + '"'),
	String.class);
	if (scopeConfig.isEmpty()) { // microprofile style config; fully qualified class name
	scopeConfig = config.getOptionalValue(
	String.format(MP_REST_SCOPE_FORMAT, restClientInterface.name().toString()),
	String.class);
	}
	if (scopeConfig.isEmpty() && configKeyOptional.isPresent()) { // quarkus style config; configKey
	scopeConfig = config.getOptionalValue(String.format(QUARKUS_REST_SCOPE_FORMAT, configKeyOptional.get()),
	String.class);
	}
	if (scopeConfig.isEmpty() && configKeyOptional.isPresent()) { // quarkus style config; quoted configKey
	scopeConfig = config.getOptionalValue(String.format(QUARKUS_REST_SCOPE_FORMAT, '"' + configKeyOptional.get() + '"'),
	String.class);
	}
	if (scopeConfig.isEmpty() && configKeyOptional.isPresent()) { // microprofile style config; configKey
	scopeConfig = config.getOptionalValue(String.format(MP_REST_SCOPE_FORMAT, configKeyOptional.get()), String.class);
	}
	if (scopeConfig.isEmpty()) { // quarkus style config; short class name
	scopeConfig = config.getOptionalValue(
	String.format(QUARKUS_REST_SCOPE_FORMAT, restClientInterface.simpleName()),
	String.class);
	}
	return scopeConfig;
	}

We need to rewrite this to ensure consistency with our current configuration usage. Most likely, the issue is related to how this is being used. I can have a look at it.
