Summary of Changes

Hello @ehsavoie, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on improving the robustness and testability of Protobuf conversions within the spec-grpc module. The primary goal is to prevent NullPointerException issues that could arise when optional parameters are not explicitly set during conversion. To achieve this, a specific conversion method has been made null-safe, and comprehensive unit tests have been introduced using JUnit 5 to validate the correctness of various toProto conversion utilities. This ensures that the system handles missing optional data gracefully and that conversions behave as expected across different data structures.

Highlights

  • Null-Safety for Protobuf Conversion: The 'message' conversion method in 'ProtoUtils' has been updated to prevent NullPointerException by ensuring that contextId and taskId are set to empty strings if their original values are null.
  • Introduction of JUnit 5: New JUnit Jupiter dependencies have been added to the 'pom.xml', enabling the use of JUnit 5 for more robust and modern testing practices.
  • Enhanced Test Coverage for Protobuf Conversions: A new test file, 'ToProtoTest.java', has been added, providing extensive unit test coverage for various toProto conversion methods, including AgentCard, Task, Message, and different configuration/event types.

Code Review

This pull request addresses a potential NullPointerException in the toProto conversion for Message objects by handling null contextId and taskId. It also introduces a comprehensive test suite for the ToProto utility class. My review focuses on improving the new tests for correctness and completeness, and suggests a minor code refinement for readability in the conversion logic. I've identified an issue with incorrect assertions in one of the new tests and a case where a field is silently dropped during conversion.

I think the corresponding message method in FromProto will need to be updated so the value is only set if non empty.
