Remove this unused method parameter reported when method called via method reference only

[boardtc (Tom Corcoran)]

SQ reports 3 major code smells in our code base: “Remove this unused method parameter”.

If the reported parameters are removed the code does not compile, this is because the methods are only called via method reference.

In all cases the parameter is not directly passed but passed behind the scenes by method reference - typically we don’t have to pass arguments to method references.

Hey there.

I’ve moved your post to the section on reporting false-positives.

How to Report a False-positive / False-negative

Hey SonarSource Community! False-positives happen, as do false-negatives, and we’re eager to fix them. We are thrilled when our users report problems, so we can make our products better. What is a false-positive (FP)? A false-positive is when an issue is raised unexpectedly on code that should not trigger an issue, or where the suggested action doesn’t make any sense for the code. What is a false-negative (FN)? A false-negative is when an issue should be raised on a piece of code, but isn’t…

Please update your post with a code sample that reproduces the issue, and the specific Rule ID being raised!

I’d also like to mention that since you use Data Center Edition, you surely have access to Commercial Support, which may be a better avenue if you wish to share these details confidentially.
