IntelliJ，分析Scala代码

Question

When i am using IntelliJ to analyze ( Analyze->Inspect code ) my Java code, which happens to have an unused method, they are flagged. This same behavior does not seem to be happening with Scala .

For instance, IntelliJ finds no issues with

   object Main {

       def main(args: Array[String]) {
       }

       private def max(a: Int, b: Int) = {   // <---- unused
         if (a > b) a else b
       }
    }

Can i enable this (and other) checks somehow? What am i missing please?

Answer 1

我认为IntelliJ不要将其设置为未使用是适当的，因为max方法被定义为公共方法。

As far as I can tell, the Scala plugin for IDEA doesn't have an inspection for unused methods (even private ones).

For Java, IDEA has "Unused declaration":

This inspection reports classes, methods or fields in the specified inspection scope that are not used or not reachable from entry points.

Unfortunately the only related inspection for Scala is "Unused Symbol."

The only related issue I could find is SCL-3121 . You could add a feature request on the issue tracker for unused method highlighting.
