Warning
New
Last modified: 03 December 2024Reports the Feature Envy code smell. The warning is thrown when a method calls methods on another class three or more times. Calls to library classes, parent classes, contained or containing classes are not counted by this inspection. Feature envy is often an indication of the fact that this functionality is located in a wrong class.
Example:
class JobManager {
// Warning: this method calls three methods
// of the Job class
// It would be better to move this chain of
// calls to the Job class itself.
void performJob(Job job) {
job.beforeStart();
job.process();
job.afterProcessing();
}
}
- 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.
