Affects PMD Version:
7.2.0
Rule:
LocalVariableCouldBeFinal
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
private Optional<FileWatcher> createFileWatcher() {
@SuppressWarnings("PMD.LocalVariableCouldBeFinal")
Optional<FileWatcher> optionalFileWatcher; // false positive in PMD 7.2.0, cannot be final
try {
optionalFileWatcher = Optional.of(new FileWatcher());
} catch (final IOException e) {
optionalFileWatcher = Optional.empty();
}
return optionalFileWatcher;
}
Expected outcome:
This is new in 7.2.0 and worked in prior versions.
PMD reports a violation, but that's wrong. That's a false positive.
