Class DuplicatedCondition

A detector that finds duplicated conditions appearing in conditional expressions.

Why is it bad?

Typically, these cases are developer errors caused by copy-pasting code, leading to unreachable code.

Example

fun test(a: Int): Int {
  if (a < 1) { return 1; }
  else if (a > 4) { return 2; }
  // Bad: A developer copy-pasted the condition
  else if (a > 4) { return 3; }
  return 4;
}

Use instead:

fun test(a: Int): Int {
  if (a < 1) { return 1; }
  else if (a > 4) { return 2; }
  // OK: Fixed
  else if (a < x) { return 3; }
  return 4;
}

severity

severity: Severity = Severity.HIGH

Gets the severity of the detector.

Accessors

id

  • get id(): string

  • Gets the short identifier of the detector, used in analyzer warnings.

    Returns string

    The unique identifier of the detector.

kind

shareImportedWarnings

  • get shareImportedWarnings(): WarningsBehavior

  • Defines the behavior of warnings generated by this detector when working with multiple projects within a single Tact configuration.

    Here are the available options:

    1. "union" Leave this value if you don't care about warnings generated in other projects.
    2. "intersect" If the warning is generated for some source location of the imported file, it should be generated by each of the projects. Example: Constants from an imported file should not be reported iff they are unused in all the projects, so you need "intersect".

    Returns WarningsBehavior

usesSouffle

  • get usesSouffle(): boolean

  • Checks whether this detector needs the Soufflé binary to be executed.

    Returns boolean
