OptaPlanner benchmarking won't run - benchmarking

Question

I'm trying to run an OptaPlanner benchmark with the following configuration:

However, I get this error message:

I've tried many other benchmark configs including with <solverBenchmarkBluePrintType>CONSTRUCTION_HEURISTIC_WITH_AND_WITHOUT_LOCAL_SEARCH</solverBenchmarkBluePrintType> but none of them work either.
I had it working previously, but I went back to it after a number of changes and it no longer works.
I'm using a SimpleLongScore now instead of a SimpleScore and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the error since before it wasn't throwing this exception.
Any ideas?
Edit #1:
I wish I could provide more code, but I really don't know what code to include.
The bizarre thing is that OptaPlanner runs just fine through mvn compile quarkus:dev, but when I run my benchmark app, from the main entry, it gives the errors as mentioned before, java.lang.IllegalStateException: The class (class java.lang.Long) should have a no-arg constructor to create a planning clone.
Here's my main:
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val plannerBenchmarkFactory:PlannerBenchmarkFactory = PlannerBenchmarkFactory.createFromXmlResource("benchmarkBluePrintConfig.xml")
val plannerBenchmark: PlannerBenchmark = plannerBenchmarkFactory.buildPlannerBenchmark()
plannerBenchmark.benchmarkAndShowReportInBrowser()
}
The solverConfig.xml can also be the same for both, but only the benchmark app throws the error. It's pretty odd to me.

Answer 1

I figured it out.
In my Visit class I was using a #CustomShadowVariable:
#DeepPlanningClone
#CustomShadowVariable(
variableListenerClass = ArrivalTimeUpdatingVariableListener::class,
sources = [PlanningVariableReference(variableName = "previousStandstill")]
)
var arrivalTime: Long? = null
Removing #DeepPlanningClone solved the problem.
I have no idea why it runs fine when the SolverManager is #Inject'd as opposed to throwing the error when SolverConfig/SolverManager is created through the API (as it is in my Benchmark App).
