Wrap nullable arguments passed to non-null parameters in requireNonNull

Recipe IDio.moderne.nullability.WrapNullableArgumentInRequireNonNull
Artifactio.moderne.recipe:rewrite-nullability

Wraps in java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(...) (statically imported) each argument that passes a provably-nullable value to a callee parameter that is not declared @Nullable. Inside a @NullMarked scope NullAway treats every unannotated parameter as non-null, so such a call is an error; requireNonNull throws only where the @NonNull callee would already misbehave on null, so runtime behavior is unchanged. Argument and parameter nullness are resolved from the nullness oracle and the flow engine (no name-based heuristics). The fix only fires where the call site is @NullMarked and the callee is itself in an annotated scope, and never asserts non-null on a value that is genuinely nullable at the site (a value read inside its own null-check is left for a human). A value that is explicitly null on some path (a bare null literal or a ternary with a null arm) is not wrapped but flagged for review with an advisory marker, since the parameter likely should be @Nullable. Idempotent and conservative; only Java sources are modified.

Usage

This recipe has no required configuration options. You’ll need the Moderne CLI configured before running the command below.

mod run . --recipe io.moderne.nullability.WrapNullableArgumentInRequireNonNull

If the recipe isn’t available locally, install it with:

mod config recipes jar install io.moderne.recipe:rewrite-nullability:0.3.1

Options

NameTypeDescription
annotatedPackagesStringComma-separated package prefixes to limit the fix to (matching NullAway's AnnotatedPackages option). When unset, the recipe fixes all packages.
e.g. com.example
assertionStyleAssertionStyleThe non-null assertion form to emit at a wrap site. AUTO (the default) inspects the classpath: Guava present (com.google.common) emits Preconditions.checkNotNull, otherwise Objects.requireNonNull. CAST_TO_NON_NULL is explicit-only (it is suppression-like — no runtime throw) and never auto-selected.

Data tables

Structured output this recipe can produce.

  • Null-safety fixes by rungEach residual null-safety fix applied, tagged with the precedence rung that produced it, so the share bottoming out at a last-resort `requireNonNull` assertion can be tracked.io.moderne.nullability.table.NullFixes
  • Declined null-safety fixes needing reviewEach site the recipe declined to auto-fix because the fix is a design decision (the value is explicitly `null` on some path, so the slot likely should be `@Nullable`), for human triage.io.moderne.nullability.table.DeclinedNullFixes
