Disabling and enabling inspections

Last modified: 23 August 2023

Some inspections may report problems that you currently do not want to see. In this case, you can disable or suppress them.

Disable inspections

When you disable an inspection, you turn it off. It means that the code analysis engine stops searching project files for the problem that this inspection is designed to detect. Note that when you disable an inspection, you disable it in the current inspection profile; it remains enabled in other profiles.

Most inspections in GoLand can be disabled. However, some inspections will keep highlighting your code regardless of the settings. For example, syntax errors are always highlighted.

Disable an inspection in the settings

  1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and then select Editor | Inspections.

  2. Locate the inspection you want to disable, and clear the checkbox next to it.

  3. Apply the changes and close the dialog.

You can quickly disable a triggered inspection directly in the editor.

Disable an inspection in the editor

  1. Place the caret at the highlighted line and press AltEnter (or click the Intention action icon to use the intention action).

  2. Click the arrow next to the inspection you want to disable, and select Disable inspection.

Disabling inspections in the Problems tool window

  1. In the Inspection Results tool window (after running code analysis), right-click the inspection you want to disable and select Disable inspection.

  2. Click the Filter resolved items icon to hide the disabled inspection alerts.

Suppress inspections

When you suppress an inspection, the code analysis engine doesn't highlight the problem found by this inspection in the specific piece of code (class, method, field, or statement). You can also suppress all inspections in the current type.

Most inspections in GoLand can be suppressed. However, some inspections do not have this option. For example, syntax errors are always highlighted in the editor regardless of the settings.

Suppress an inspection in the editor

  1. Place the caret at the highlighted line and press AltEnter (or click the Intention action icon to use the intention action).

  2. Click the App client expui general more vertical button next to the inspection you want to suppress and select the necessary suppress action. GoLand adds a // noinspection comment above the code fragment where the inspection is suppressed.

Suppress an inspection in the Inspection Results tool window

The Inspection Results tool window shows the problems detected while running code analysis.

  • In the Inspection Results tool window (after running code analysis), right-click the inspection you want to suppress and select the necessary suppress action.

Enable suppressed inspections

When you suppress an inspection, the IDE adds the //noinspection annotation before the selected symbol. For example, if you suppress an inspection for a statement, GoLand adds the annotation before this statement.

  • To re-enable a suppressed inspection, delete the //noinspection annotation.

Disable highlighting, but keep the fix

Inspections have severities according to which they highlight code problems in the editor. You can quickly disable code highlighting for an inspection without opening the settings. In this case, the inspection remains enabled and provides a fix, but the severity changes to No highlighting (fix available).

If you want to restore the highlighting, press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and select Editor | Inspections. Find the necessary inspection in the list and change its severity as you like. For more information, refer to Change inspection severity in all scopes.
