Unused dependency
Reports unused dependencies.
For each dependency in the current go.mod file, this inspection searches for any import statement starting with the dependency name in all GO files. If no such imports found then the dependency is considered unused. This inspection is an equivalent of the go mod why
command.
The inspection processes require
and replace
directives. The require
directives with // indirect
comments are also processed.
The inspection might not accurately determine that a replaced or indirectly-required dependency is unused in the following cases:
Vendoring mode is enabled
Some dependencies are not downloaded
- 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.
