Gary Gregory commented on TEXT-138: ----------------------------------- That sounds like a bug, the class says it implements the {{Appendable}} contract, so it should be behave according to that contract. > TextStringBuilder append sub-sequence not consistant with Appendable > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TEXT-138 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-138 > Project: Commons Text > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Reporter: Neal Johnson > Priority: Minor > Labels: usability > > The method: > {{append(final CharSequence seq, final int startIndex, final int length)}} > Overrides the method defined by Appendable. However the behavior of the > TextStringBuilder implementation is not consistent with the definition in > Appendable. As the class defines "that some edge cases, with invalid indices > or null input, have been altered - see individual methods" this would not > normally be an issue. However as the implementation states that it overrides > Appendable the class cannot be used as an Appendable as the last argument is > expected to be an end index and not a length. > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
