Affects PMD Version:6.42.0
Rule:UseEqualsToCompareStrings
Please provide the rule name and a link to the rule documentation:
https://pmd.github.io/latest/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#useequalstocomparestrings
Description:
Hi, I found a false negative about the rule UseEqualsToCompareStrings. Please review the following code example. PMD should have reported a warning at line 5 because the string x is compared with another string, but it doesn't. Hence, I think it is a false negative.
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
String getLiteral() {
return "hello";
}
void UseEqualsToCompareStrings(String x) {
if (x == getLiteral()) {} // a false negative should report
}
Expected outcome:
PMD should report a violation at line 5, but doesn't. This is a false-negative.
