using this function:

private inline fun <reified T> parseFile(files: Map<String, Path>,
                                         fileName: String,
                                         mapper: ObjectMapper): Array<T> =
    files[fileName]
        ?.toFile()
        ?.readText()
        ?.let {
            mapper.readValue<Array<T>>(it)
        }
        ?: emptyArray()

It seems that the kotlin api ignores the Array parameter
Cannot deserialize instance of at.lhes.sws.locationclient.model.Division out of START_ARRAY token
at [Source: (String)"[{"id":"190","type":"Landmaschinen-Handel"}]
where T is Division

maybe related to https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-module-kotlin/issues/179

[Bernhard]

ok, manually inlined it and debugged the code

[Bernhard]

had to use mapper.readValue<Array<T>>(it, mapper.typeFactory.constructArrayType(T::class.java))

[Bernhard]

instead of mapper.readValue<Array<T>>(it)
