Call to PicocliRunner.execute(Class<?>, ApplicationContext, String...) does not compile

[miguelaferreira]

Expected Behavior

That a call to PicocliRunner.execute(Class<?>, ApplicationContext, String...) with any Class instance would compile.

Actual Behaviour

The compiler complaints that the Class instance I'm providing to the method does not comply with the method signature.

error: no suitable method found for execute(Class<CAP#1>,ApplicationContext,String[])
            PicocliRunner.execute(commandClass, ctx, args);
                         ^

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a Micronaut Cli app
2. Declare a command class that does not implement Runnable nor Callable. (This is how Picocli recommends making subcommands required.)

import picocli.CommandLine;

@CommandLine.Command(
        name = "test-command",
        subcommands = {SubCommand.class}
)
public class TestCommand {
}

@CommandLine.Command(
        name = "sub-command"
)
public class SubCommand implements Runnable {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Hello from SubCommand");
    }
}

3. Create a test that calls PicocliRunner.execute(Class<?>, ApplicationContext, String...) with the command class as the first argument to the method.

import io.micronaut.configuration.picocli.PicocliRunner;
import io.micronaut.context.ApplicationContext;
import io.micronaut.context.env.Environment;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

class TestCommandTest {

    @Test
    void execute() {
        try (ApplicationContext ctx = ApplicationContext.run(Environment.CLI, Environment.TEST)) {
            String[] args = new String[]{};
            final Class<?> commandClass = TestCommand.class;
            PicocliRunner.execute(commandClass, ctx, args);
        }
    }
}
