Problem Description
We are getting a java:S2175 “Inappropriate “Collection” calls should not be made” bug raised for something which does not seem to be a bug (at least to us).
completeListOfElements.indexOf(lastFilteredElement)
where the the types are using generics: List<T> completeListOfElements and final T lastFilteredElement.
Expected Behaviour
This should not raise the rule java:S2175
Used Version
We are running on SonarCloud.
Additional Info
As we are runniong on sonarcloud I would hope you can hop on our project and take a look there, that’s why I did not create a minimized ready to run example. Also, because I highly suspect it is something specific about our code that raises this bug, because I guess simply using indexOf on gen erics is done often enough that a very simple case would already have been detected.
This seems to me to be related or at least similar to Possible false postive for java:S2175 while using generic wrapping class, but there the problem seems to have simply vanished.
