Description

I have an API interface where the methods are kotlin suspend methods:

@FeignClient(path = "/api/masker", contextId = "MaskerApi", name = Const.SERVICE, configuration = [FeignConfig::class])
interface MaskerApi {

    @PostMapping("/mask")
    suspend fun mask(
        @Valid @RequestBody maskRequest: MaskRequest,
    ): RestResponse<List<CharSequence>>

    @PostMapping("/matches")
    suspend fun matches(
        @Valid @RequestBody maskRequest: MaskRequest,
    ): RestResponse<List<Boolean>>
}

But when I run the program, the program throws an exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Method has too many Body parameters: public abstract java.lang.Object io.github.xhstormr.masker.web.api.masker.MaskerApi.matches(io.github.xhstormr.masker.model.masker.MaskRequest,kotlin.coroutines.Continuation)

This kotlin.coroutines.Continuation parameter is generated by the kotlin compiler at compile time, so I can't modify this parameter, how can I tell FeignClient to ignore this Continuation parameter?

Research direction

Start at SpringMvcContract.parseAndValidateMetadata and Feign Contract.BaseContract.parseAndValidateMetadata, using the reported suspend interface as the reproduction case. Trace how the generated kotlin.coroutines.Continuation parameter is classified, then verify that Feign client creation succeeds without the “too many Body parameters” exception.
