I've read a number of posts on here relating to JPA handling of null params.
Many solutions have offered the following workaround using native queries, see: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-jpa-null-parameters
@Query("SELECT c FROM Customer c WHERE (:name is null or c.name = :name) and (:email is null or c.email = :email)")
List<Customer> findCustomerByNameAndEmail(@Param("name") String name, @Param("email") String email);
However this still doesn't work in my case I get the following error when running a test
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter of type String at index 0 in customer.name must not be null!
Is there something in the entity/repo that needs configured to prevent throwing the illegal args. Desired outcome would be "ignoring" of null value and just return me everything in that case.
I am aware of the following: https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATAJPA-209 still unresolved.
