Set charset encoding explicitly when calling String#getBytes

org.openrewrite.staticanalysis.ExplicitCharsetOnStringGetBytes

This makes the behavior of the code platform neutral. It will not override any existing explicit encodings, even if they don't match the default encoding option.

Usage

This recipe has no required configuration options. It can be activated by adding a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis:1.5.0 in your build file or by running a shell command (in which case no build changes are needed):

Gradle

1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.12.0")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.staticanalysis.ExplicitCharsetOnStringGetBytes")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis:1.5.0")
}

2. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.

Gradle init script

1. Create a file named init.gradle in the root of your project.

init.gradle

initscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2" }
    }
    dependencies { classpath("org.openrewrite:plugin:6.12.0") }
}
rootProject {
    plugins.apply(org.openrewrite.gradle.RewritePlugin)
    dependencies {
        rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis:1.5.0")
    }
    rewrite {
        activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.staticanalysis.ExplicitCharsetOnStringGetBytes")
    }
    afterEvaluate {
        if (repositories.isEmpty()) {
            repositories {
                mavenCentral()
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Run gradle --init-script init.gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.

Maven POM

1. Add the following to your pom.xml file:

pom.xml

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.openrewrite.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>rewrite-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>5.29.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>org.openrewrite.staticanalysis.ExplicitCharsetOnStringGetBytes</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openrewrite.recipe</groupId>
            <artifactId>rewrite-static-analysis</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.0</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

2. Run mvn rewrite:run to run the recipe.
