Implicit type conversion
Reports implicit conversions between the predefined XPath-types STRING, NUMBER, BOOLEAN, and NODESET. Helps to write XSLT scripts that are more expressive about types and prevents subtle bugs:
Example:
is not the same as
The first test checks whether the element "foo" exists (count(foo) > 0); the latter one however is only true if the element actually contains any text (string-length(foo) > 0). Suggests making the type conversion more explicit.
Use the following options to configure the inspection:
Enable or disable implicit conversions between certain types
Always report explicit conversions that do not result in the actually expected type, for example,
<xsl:if test="number(foo)" />Ignore conversion from
NODESETtoBOOLEANby using thestring()function as a shortcut for writingstring-length() > 0.
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.
ImplicitTypeConversion- 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.
