Annotates 10 classes in graphql.language package with JSpecify nullability markers to improve type safety and enable static null checking via NullAway.

Changes

  • Added @NullMarked to: NodeTraverser, NonNullType, ObjectField, ObjectTypeDefinition, ObjectTypeExtensionDefinition, OperationDefinition, OperationTypeDefinition, PrettyAstPrinter, SDLDefinition, SDLExtensionDefinition

  • Marked nullable fields/parameters with @Nullable:

    • SourceLocation (consistently nullable across codebase)
    • OperationDefinition.name and operation (null for anonymous operations)
    • OperationDefinition.selectionSet
    • Description in type definitions
    • Method parameters in PrettyAstPrinter helper methods

  • Added @NullUnmarked to all Builder static classes per pattern

  • Removed NamedNode interface from OperationDefinition - the interface requires non-null names but operations support null names for anonymous queries:

    // Anonymous operation - name is null
{
  field
}

  • Used assertNotNull in deepCopy methods where nullable values are passed to non-null constructor parameters

  • Removed annotated classes from JSpecifyAnnotationsCheck.groovy exemption list

Example

@PublicApi
@NullMarked
public class OperationDefinition extends AbstractNode<OperationDefinition> {
    private final @Nullable String name;
    private final @Nullable Operation operation;
    private final @Nullable SelectionSet selectionSet;
    
    public @Nullable String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    
    @NullUnmarked
    public static final class Builder {
        // No further annotations needed
    }
}
Original prompt

Task

Add JSpecify annotations to the following 10 classes in the graphql.language package, following the established JSpecify annotation pattern documented in .claude/commands/jspecify-annotate.md.

Classes to annotate

  1. graphql.language.NodeTraverser
  2. graphql.language.NonNullType
  3. graphql.language.ObjectField
  4. graphql.language.ObjectTypeDefinition
  5. graphql.language.ObjectTypeExtensionDefinition
  6. graphql.language.OperationDefinition
  7. graphql.language.OperationTypeDefinition
  8. graphql.language.PrettyAstPrinter
  9. graphql.language.SDLDefinition
  10. graphql.language.SDLExtensionDefinition

Instructions

Follow the JSpecify annotation process documented in .claude/commands/jspecify-annotate.md:

  1. Set each class to be @NullMarked at the class level
  2. Remove all redundant @NonNull annotations that IntelliJ may have added
  3. Check Javadoc for @param tags mentioning "null", "nullable", "may be null"
  4. Check Javadoc @return tags mentioning "null", "optional", "if available"
  5. Inspect method implementations that return null or check for null
  6. Consider GraphQL specification details when determining nullability
  7. For Builder static classes, label them @NullUnmarked and no further annotations needed

Validation

After making changes, run the NullAway compile check:

./gradlew compileJava

If you find NullAway errors, make the smallest possible change to fix them. You can use assertNotNull with a message if needed.

Cleanup

  1. Remove each completed class from the exemption list in src/test/groovy/graphql/archunit/JSpecifyAnnotationsCheck.groovy
  2. Delete all unused imports from the classes you've annotated
  3. Do not make spacing or formatting changes - only make minimal changes necessary for the annotations

Reference

Look at existing annotated classes like IntValue.java, StringValue.java, AbstractNode.java in the same package for reference patterns.
