Clean Code Report False-positive / False-negative...

#1

Please provide

  • Operating system: Ubuntu
  • SonarLint plugin version: 7.3.0.59206
  • Programming language you’re coding in: Java
  • Is connected mode used: No

And a thorough description of the problem / question:

The following code produces a false positive:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (args.length > 3) {
            foo(true);
        }
        foo(false);
    }

SonarLint reports issue java:S1126 “Replace this if-then-else statement by a single method invocation”.

This should not be issued because this is not an if-then-else statement and cannot be replaced by a single method invocation.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Could you upgrade to the latest SonarLint version (7.4.0.60471) and see if this is still replicable, please?

 
Thx!
