Answer –
passwordEncoder.matches(loginDTO.getEmail())
'matches(java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.String)' in 'org.springframework.security.crypto.password.PasswordEncoder' cannot be applied to '(java.lang.String)'
Solution –
The error message you are seeing is indicating that the matches
method of the PasswordEncoder
interface expects two arguments: a CharSequence
and a String
. However, the code is passing a String
as the first argument.
To fix this error, you can convert the String
to a CharSequence
before calling the matches
method. You can do this using the CharSequence
interface or by using a String
as a CharSequence
directly.
Here’s an example of how to fix the error using the CharSequence
interface:
CharSequence password = loginDTO.getPassword();
String encodedPassword = user.getPassword(); // assume this is the encoded password from the database
if (passwordEncoder.matches(password, encodedPassword)) {
// Passwords match
} else {
// Passwords do not match
}
And here’s an example of how to fix the error by using a String
as a CharSequence
directly:
String password = loginDTO.getPassword();
String encodedPassword = user.getPassword(); // assume this is the encoded password from the database
if (passwordEncoder.matches(password, encodedPassword)) {
// Passwords match
} else {
// Passwords do not match
}
Either way, the important thing is to ensure that the first argument to the matches
method is a CharSequence
.
