Excluding ResponseEntity produces invalid \any<T>\ TypeScript syntax #24

Description

@Nthalk

Description

When excluding the Spring Framework package (org.springframework.) and an API method returns ResponseEntity<T>, the generator emits any<T> which is invalid TypeScript syntax.

Minimal Reproduction

Java/Kotlin Controller:

@RestController
class MyController {
    @GetMapping("/items/{id}")
    fun getItem(@PathVariable id: String): ResponseEntity<ItemResponse> {
        return ResponseEntity.ok(ItemResponse(id, "name"))
    }
}

data class ItemResponse(val id: String, val name: String)

Generator Configuration (Gradle):

typescriptGenerator {
    config {
        exclude("org.springframework.")  // Blanket exclusion
    }
}

Generated TypeScript (buggy):

getItem(id: string): AbortablePromise<any<ItemResponse>>

Problem: any<T> is invalid TypeScript syntax - generics cannot be applied to any.

Expected Behavior

One of:

  • getItem(id: string): AbortablePromise<ItemResponse> (unwrap the generic)
  • getItem(id: string): AbortablePromise<any> (drop the type parameter if using any)

Workaround

Exclude specific Spring types instead of the whole package:

exclude(
    "org.springframework.util.MimeType",
    "org.springframework.http.HttpMethod",
    "org.springframework.http.HttpStatus"
)
// DO NOT exclude "org.springframework." - generator needs ResponseEntity
