Why you should care

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Groovy support dynamic types, that is declarations where the type is def or unspecified.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]

How we detect

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]CAST Highlight counts one occurrence each time a function, method, field member, variable or parameter has no explicit type defined. def is not an explicit type.

    void functionWithDynamicParameter(def parameter) {              // violation
    }
 
    void functionWithParameterWithoutTypeDeclaration(parameter, def param2) {   // + 2 violations
    }
 
    void functionWithObjectParameter(Object parameter)              // OK
 
    def functionWithDynamicReturnType() {                         // + 1 VIOLATION
    }
 
   def variableWithDynamicType = "yoooo"                       // +1 VIOLATION
 
    class toto {
              def fieldWithDynamicType = 0       // +1 VIOLATION
 
              def int fieldWithExplicitType        // OK
 
              def void methodWithExplicitReturnType() {   // OK
              }
 
              def methodWithDynamicType() {              // +1 VIOLATION
                       def localVarWithDynamicType = 0   // +1 VIOLATION
              }
 
    }
