@tirth8205 - Can you please help review this PR ? I am leveraging This is the other PR #278 |
tree-sitter-java places type_identifier (return type) before identifier (method name) in method_declaration nodes. The generic _get_name() loop matched type_identifier first, causing methods to be indexed under their return type instead of their actual name. For example: * `public String getName()` was indexed as "String" instead of "getName", and * `public ConfigBean getUtilityIngestionBean()`was indexed as "ConfigBean". This broke callers_of,callees_of, and children_of queries for any Java method with a non-void, non-generic return type. Adds a Java-specific branch in _get_name() that returns the first identifier child for method_declaration nodes, following the same pattern as the Go fix (field_identifier) from PR tirth8205#166. Kotlin & Scala is unaffected — its syntax places the name before the return type.
