Unable to detect type of chain method invocation

[SiBorya]

What version of OpenRewrite are you using?

I am using

• OpenRewrite v8.41.1

What is the smallest, simplest way to reproduce the problem?

For ObjectClassA.methodX().methodY()

• methodX() return ObjectClassA
• methodY() doesn't exist in ClassB

After changing ObjectClassA to ObjectClassB, OpenRewrite can't detect the methodType of methodY() (the pattern should be ClassB methodY()

I suppose the issue is related to line 462

Here the code snippet you may need in my case (from httpclient4 to httpclient5):

HttpClientBuilder.create()
        .setDefaultRequestConfig(config)
        .setSSLSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory)

hi @SiBorya ; would you mind elaborating a bit if this is already part way through a migration or not? Wondering if this is an issue with parsing the Apache HttpClient 4 code at all, or when there have already been a number of ChangeType recipe invocations.

It's not only the issue on HttpClient4. My colleague encountered this one in SpringBatch too. I suppose it's a common issue.

My recipe is pretty complex and can't tell more details. But probably a ChangeType can trigger this issue. I may write a full test code later.

After debug, I suppose using JavaTemplate will trigger OpenRewrite to parse types again.
For example, a method contains 4 lines of code. Recipe A changes line 1 and the dependency using JavaTemplate. Before sending to Recipe B, it will parse the method and find line 3 "Unknown" because of dependency changed.

Is it how OpenRewrite work? @timtebeek
