Reading converter executed for generated 'countBy' method (r2dbc)

[kdebski85]

After upgrade to org.springframework.data:spring-data-r2dbc:3.2.2, reading converter is executed for generated countBy methods.
In 3.2.1 and before, the converter was not executed as expected
Maybe the fix for #1710 is related.

Sample repository with countBy method:

public interface FooRepository extends BaseRepository<Foo, String> extends org.springframework.data.repository.reactive.ReactiveCrudRepository {

   Mono<Long> countByBar(String bar); 
}

Sample reading converter for the entity:

@Component
@ReadingConverter
class ReadConverter implements org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter<Row, Foo> {

    public Foo convert(Row source) {
            Foo.FooBuilder entity = Foo.builder();
            entity.name(source.get("name", String.class));
            return entity.build();
    }
}

As a result, the converter fails because it expects to retrieve name column, but only count column is returned:

org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Failed to convert from type [io.r2dbc.postgresql.PostgresqlRow] to type [foo.Foo] for value [io.r2dbc.postgresql.PostgresqlRow@1e52c3ea]

The converter should not be called at all for countBy method.

This should be fixed via #1723. Care to retest against the latest snapshots?

[kdebski85]

I checked that the issue is resolved in spring-data-r2dbc 3.2.3-SNAPSHOT. Thank you!
Should I close this ticket?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm closing this one as duplicate.
