The deserialization of a BCMC payment method fails with Failed deserialization for CheckoutPaymentMethod: 2 classes match result, expected 1 at 'paymentMethod'.

The root cause is in the custom deserializer inside CheckoutPaymentMethod. The logic it uses to match the type is too lenient, using contains() rather than stricter equals().

This PR updates the CheckoutPaymentMethod deserializer, adding tests to confirm the desired behaviour.

Note: the mustache templates will be updated in a separate PR (to update all deserializers in the library)

Fix #1531

Summary of Changes

Hello @gcatanese, 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!

I've addressed a deserialization bug in the CheckoutPaymentMethod class where the contains() method was too lenient, causing issues with payment methods like BCMC. My fix replaces contains() with equals() for precise type matching, ensuring correct deserialization. I've also added comprehensive tests to validate this behavior.

Highlights

  • Improved Payment Method Deserialization: I've updated the CheckoutPaymentMethod deserializer to use equals() instead of contains() for type matching, resolving a bug that caused incorrect deserialization for certain payment methods, such as BCMC.
  • Enhanced Test Coverage: I've added new unit tests specifically for BCMC and BCMC Mobile payment methods to confirm the fix and prevent future regressions in deserialization logic.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes a deserialization issue in CheckoutPaymentMethod by switching from String.contains() to String.equals() for type matching. This prevents incorrect deserialization when one payment method type string is a substring of another, as was the case for 'bcmc' and 'bcmc_mobile'. The addition of new tests in CheckoutTest and ModelTest effectively covers this fix.

My main feedback is regarding the significant code duplication in CheckoutPaymentMethod.deserialize(). While the fix is correct, the method's structure is difficult to maintain. I've suggested a more scalable, map-based approach that could be implemented when updating the generator templates. I also noted a minor issue in the new tests where an unused local variable can be removed.
