Varargs methods cause ClassCastException in AnswerFunctionalInterfaces #2644
Description
Hi,
The other day, I discovered that this code does not work:
doAnswer(answerVoid((VoidAnswer2<String, Object[]>)
logger::info
)).when(mock)
.info(any(), (Object[]) any());
// This call will throw an exception
mock.info("Some message with {} {} {}", "three", "parameters", "");The exception details looks as follows:
class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class [Ljava.lang.Object; (java.lang.String and [Ljava.lang.Object; are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')
java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class [Ljava.lang.Object; (java.lang.String and [Ljava.lang.Object; are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

The following works, but feels much less elegant:
doAnswer( invocation -> {
String format = invocation.getArgument( 0 );
Object[] allArguments = invocation.getArguments();
Object[] arguments = Arrays.copyOfRange( allArguments, 1, allArguments.length );
logger.info( format, arguments );
return null;
} ).when( mock )
.info( anyString(), (Object[])any() );Is this to be considered a bug or a feature? 🙂 I get the feeling that varargs (Object[] under the hood) parameters do not really work when used with the answerVoid()-based approach as described above.
