Field not used in 'toString()' method
Reports fields that are not used in the toString()
method of a class.
Helps discover fields added after the toString()
method was last updated. The quick-fix regenerates the toString()
method.
In the Generate | toString() dialog, it is possible to exclude fields from this check. This inspection will also check for problems with getter methods if the Enable getters in code generation option is enabled there.
Example:
public class Relevant {
private String name; // not used in toString()
private int index;
private int length;
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Relevant{" + "index=" + index +
", length=" + length + '}';
}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
public class Relevant {
private String name;
private int index;
private int length;
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Relevant{" + "name='" + name + '\'' +
", index=" + index + ", length=" + length + '}';
}
}
