Affects PMD Version: 7.3.0
Rule:
Please provide the rule name and a link to the rule documentation:
https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedprivatemethod
Description:
Avoid unused private methods such as 'registerUser(String, String, String)'.
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
public User methodA() {
val user = userOpt.orElseGet(() -> {
try {
return registerUser(email, firstName, lastName);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Failed to register user for " + email, e);
}
};
// ...
return user;
}
private User registerUser(String email, String firstName, String lastName) throws Exception {
// register user logic here...
}
Expected outcome:
No UnusedPrivateMethod violation should be reported here.
PMD reports a violation at line of the private method 'registerUser' but that's wrong. That's a false positive.
