False positive inspector error Batchable start method return type: List<CustomType>
Issue #2071
resolved
Sort of an edge case but I know you like to hear about these things. Observe line 5
public inherited sharing class Ic2Batchable implements Database.Batchable<MyInnerClass> {
private class MyInnerClass{}
public MyInnerClass[] start(Database.BatchableContext param1) {
return null;
}
public void execute(Database.BatchableContext param1, List<MyInnerClass> param2) {
}
public void finish(Database.BatchableContext param1) {
}
}
Line 5 has an inspection error but compiles fine because lists implicitly implement Iterable:
Overridden/implemented method return types clash: expected type Iterable;
found Ic2Batchable.MyInnerClass[]
Replacing line 5 with below resolves the inspection error
public Iterable<MyInnerClass> start(Database.BatchableContext param1) {

Thanks for filing, Eric. You're correct that I prefer to take care of these types of things even if they seem to be edge cases. I probably won't get to this in the next week as I'm updating for the Salesforce CLI changes that will be (re)released on Thursday, but I'll take a look for a near-term release.
