Malformed format string
Reports format strings that don't comply with the standard Java syntax.
By default, the inspection considers a compile-time constant a format string if it's used as an argument to the corresponding methods on java.util.Formatter
, java.lang.String
, java.io.PrintWriter
or java.io.PrintStream
.
Example:
String.format("x = %d, y = %d", 42);
- 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.
MalformedFormatString
Use the inspection settings to mark additional classes and methods as related to string formatting.
As an alternative, you can use the org.intellij.lang.annotations.PrintFormat
annotation to mark the format string method parameter. In this case, the format arguments parameter must immediately follow the format string and be the last method parameter. Example:
void myFormatMethod(int mode, @PrintFormat String formatString, Object... args) {...}
Methods annotated in this way will also be recognized by this inspection.
Here you can find the description of settings available for the Malformed format string inspection, and the reference of their default values.
