No type information provided for CastExpression

[geoffswift]

With a type cast, there is no information about the type.

If I have this example code

class Test {
	private void main() {
            Id test = (Id) '006D600000ZaBOeIAN';
	}
}

In the AST I would expect the CastExpression to provide a clue about the type, but this is all I get:

<CastExpression DefiningType='Test' Image='' RealLoc='true'>

The full XML for the sample code is as follows.

Thanks for reporting. This is however something, that needs to be fixed upstream in PMD. I've created an issue there: https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/5567

Happy to confirm this is now fixed in [email protected]. Thanks.

Can you clarify, what exactly you are using? The version number doesn't make sense to me (PMD is at 7.12.0, vscode-apex-pmd is at 0.8.0, so you must be using neither). Thanks.

I may have reported this in the wrong place, I was reproducing the issue with the pmd-bin CLI not the VS Code extension.

Ok, thanks. I just wanted to make sure, we don't miss another downstream PMD project to be aware of...
