Hello, can anyone tell me how can we create a helper function for a Java static method so that we can avoid the class names on every method call
eg.

Assertions.assertThat()

can be called like

someFun()

is it possible?

[karelpeeters]

fun someFun(...) = Assertions.assertThat(...)

[karelpeeters]

Maybe even mark it inline.

[diesieben07]

Or just an import:
import Assertions.assertThat
or even
import Assertions.*

[diesieben07]

Much less boilerplate 😉

[karelpeeters]

Ah, of course.

[kartikpatodi]

@karelpeeters okay but there are many implimentations of assertThat() how can we specify which one to call

[diesieben07]

With the bouncer-fun approach you need a separate bouncer fun for every variant of assertThat.

[karelpeeters]

Just use @diesieben07's solution, I've not entirely waken up yet.

😅 but intellij seems to be sleeping as well as there is no auto static import popping up(like it use to with java) and i have to manually import in every test file
