There was a problem hiding this comment.
The test will fail if the order is different, but this is more of a problem with the test, as the order doesn't matter outside that test. On the other hand, I don't think changing the Set to be ordered has much of a disadvantage.
I attempted to edit the branch to make some minor changes, but you have not granted permission to allow edits from maintainers.

The indeterministic ordering of a HashSet in the IsIn class causes the ordering of objects when serialized (to a JSON string) to be inconsistent sometimes. The following test case fails if this happens:
koryphe/core/src/test/java/uk/gov/gchq/koryphe/impl/predicate/IsInTest.java
Line 53 in 36c63c3
This PR proposes to replace the HashSet in the IsIn class with a LinkedHashSet, maintaining insertion order so that the test case is correct. It didn't make sense to me to simply change the test case, since the test case is testing serialization of the IsIn class and is comparing two JSON strings, which cannot be sorted or really manipulated.
This change was confirmed by running the NonDex tool, which explores and reports errors in different behaviors of under-determined Java APIs.
To reproduce this problem, you can run the test with NonDex using these commands:
Here are screenshots of the output produced by NonDex before and after the fix:
