JetBrains AI issues we find in Kotlin projects
Problems specific to JetBrains AI's code generation patterns when building Kotlin apps.
Over-engineered enterprise patterns generated for simple startup use cases
JetBrains AI is trained on enterprise Java and Kotlin patterns, so it tends to generate verbose factory patterns, abstract base classes, and interface hierarchies for problems that could be solved with a simple function in a startup context.
Generated Spring Boot code includes unnecessary security exposure in default configurations
Spring Boot applications generated by JetBrains AI may include actuator endpoints, management ports, or H2 console access enabled in configurations that should be disabled or secured before production deployment.
Verbose boilerplate code increases bundle size and maintenance overhead
Java code generation in particular produces verbose getter/setter patterns, checked exception hierarchies, and XML configuration that modern Kotlin or Lombok-based approaches would handle with a fraction of the code.
Generated unit tests use JUnit 4 patterns in projects that have moved to JUnit 5
JetBrains AI sometimes generates JUnit 4 annotations (@Test from org.junit, @Before, @After) in projects configured for JUnit 5, causing compilation errors and requiring annotation migration.
Kotlin issues we check for
Common Kotlin problems that affect production readiness.
Coroutine scope mismanagement
Launching coroutines with GlobalScope or unstructured scopes that outlive their intended lifecycle, causing memory leaks and zombie operations.
Null safety bypasses with !!
Using the non-null assertion operator (!!) to force past null checks instead of safe calls (?.) or elvis operator (?:), causing NullPointerExceptions.
Missing lifecycle awareness
Android components that don't respect Activity/Fragment lifecycle, continuing operations after destruction and causing crashes or memory leaks.
Insecure SharedPreferences
Storing authentication tokens and sensitive data in plain SharedPreferences instead of EncryptedSharedPreferences or Android Keystore.
