S3824 "Map.get" and value test should be replaced with single method call - should also check for containsKey()

RSPEC-3824

This is actually a false-negative. Please let me know if there’s a more appropriate place to post this.

S3824 tries to find places where the developer uses a get(), check for null, and then put() instead of the more efficient computeIfAbsent(). This rule should also detect if the developer used containsKey(), which is effectively the same as the get()/check for null.

void abc(Map<String, Object> map, String key) {
  if (!map.containsKey(key)) {
    map.put(key, new Object());
  }
}

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! The ticket is created to fix this False Negative.

Awesome! Thanks.
