String	newMethodName	The method name that will replace the existing name.
Boolean	matchOverrides	Optional. When enabled, find methods that are overrides of the method pattern.

Usage

This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly. To activate this recipe you must create a new recipe which fills in the required parameters. In your rewrite.yml create a new recipe with a unique name. For example: com.yourorg.ChangeMethodNameExample. Here's how you can define and customize such a recipe within your rewrite.yml:

{% code title="rewrite.yml" %}

---
type: specs.openrewrite.org/v1beta/recipe
name: com.yourorg.ChangeMethodNameExample
displayName: Change method name example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.ChangeMethodName:
      methodPattern: org.mockito.Matchers anyVararg()
      newMethodName: any
      matchOverrides: null
      ignoreDefinition: null

{% endcode %}

Now that com.yourorg.ChangeMethodNameExample has been defined activate it in your build file: {% tabs %} {% tab title="Gradle" %} {% code title="build.gradle" %}

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.1.4")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.ChangeMethodNameExample")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

{% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Maven" %} {% code title="pom.xml" %}

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.openrewrite.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>rewrite-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>5.2.4</version>
        <configuration>
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>com.yourorg.ChangeMethodNameExample</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

{% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
