VSCode implicitly import java.lang.StringTemplate.STR which conflict with org.yaml.snakeyaml.nodes.Tag.STR

[Renan Franca]

I am a vscode user and this compilation error (Type mismatch: cannot convert from StringTemplate.Processor<String,RuntimeException> to Tag) at class YamlFileSpringPropertiesHandler.java is so annoying:

  private Node buildScalarNode(Object value) {
    Tag tag = STR;
    if (value instanceof Integer || value instanceof Long) {
      tag = INT;
    } else if (value instanceof Double || value instanceof Float) {
      tag = FLOAT;
    } else if (value instanceof Boolean) {
      tag = BOOL;
    }

    return new ScalarNode(tag, value.toString(), null, null, DumperOptions.ScalarStyle.PLAIN);
  }

Every time before starting work on the project I have to explicitly set Tag.STR to solve the problem:

  private Node buildScalarNode(Object value) {
    Tag tag = Tag.STR;
    if (value instanceof Integer || value instanceof Long) {
      tag = INT;
    } else if (value instanceof Double || value instanceof Float) {
      tag = FLOAT;
    } else if (value instanceof Boolean) {
      tag = BOOL;
    }

    return new ScalarNode(tag, value.toString(), null, null, DumperOptions.ScalarStyle.PLAIN);
  }

I opened an issue:

@murdos and @pascalgrimaud : Do you face that problem using intellij?

[Aurélien Mino]

No problem with Intellij here.
But I guess it's related to incoming string templating in next java version.
STR will be a special word, so il would be better to use Tag.STR: you can open a PR to change existing code :-)

Thank you! 😅☺️
