Obvious explicit type

Reports local variables' explicitly given types which are obvious and thus redundant, like val f: Foo = Foo().

Example:

  class Point(val x: Int, val y: Int)

  fun foo() {
      val t: Boolean = true
      val p: Point = Point(1, 2)
      val i: Int = 42
  }

After the quick-fix is applied:

  class Point(val x: Int, val y: Int)

  fun foo() {
      val t = true
      val p = Point(1, 2)
      val i = 42
  }

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.

RedundantExplicitType

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.
