[Codenarc-user] ExplicitCallToAndMethodRule: allowing explicit "and" calls for various classes?

[R. S. <ren...@go...>]

Is it possible to allow explicit "and" calls on different classes in the
ExplicitCallToAndMethodRule?

doNotApplyToClassNames cannot be used because this filters only the
classes that are analyzed, not the ones, "and" is called on.

We are using Hamcrest a lot. It has a fluent interface which can go like
this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*

def numbers = [1, 2, 3]
assertThat numbers, hasItem(both(1).and(2))
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I already had a look at the rule implementation. And as suggested in
another thread I also changed the phase to OUTPUT in AbstractSourceCode.
But as expected this results in a compilation error as Hamcrest is not
part of CodeNarc.

Any ideas how to get the desired behavior?
