Locating this inspection
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
ES6PossiblyAsyncFunction- Via Settings dialog
Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.
Although await can be used as an identifier, it is likely that it was intended to be used as an operator, so the containing function should be made async.
Inspection ID: ES6PossiblyAsyncFunction
