Local variable naming convention
Reports local variables whose names are too short, too long, or do not follow the specified regular expression pattern.
Example: int X = 42; should be reported if the inspection is enabled with the default settings in which a variable name should start with a lowercase letter.
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.
LocalVariableNamingConvention- 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.
Configure the inspection:
Use the fields in the Options section to specify the minimum length, maximum length, and a regular expression expected for local variable names. Specify 0 in order not to check the length of names. Regular expressions should be specified in the standard java.util.regex format.
Use checkboxes to ignore for-loop and catch section parameters.
