Prior to this commit, several of the ResultMatcher methods used in
MockMvc declared unused type parameters (e.g., <T>). This was obviously
the result of copying an existing method that actually needs the type
parameter for proper casting.
For example, the following in RequestResultMatchers ...
public <T> ResultMatcher attribute(String name, Object expectedValue) {
// ...
}
... should actually be declared without <T>, since T is not used in the
implementation or in the return type:
public ResultMatcher attribute(String name, Object expectedValue) {
// ...
}
This commit removes all unused type parameter declarations in MockMvc
result matchers.
Side Effects:
Now that we have removed the unused type parameter declarations, users
will see the following side effects if they had previously declared a
type argument when invoking such methods.
- Java: an "Unused type arguments for the non generic method ..."
warning will be generated by the compiler, but the code will continue
to work unmodified.
- Kotlin: a "Type inference failed: Not enough information to infer
parameter T in fun ..." compiler error will be raised, causing the
code to no longer compile (see
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-5464). Removal of the type
argument declaration will allow the code to work correctly again.
Closes gh-23858
