Affects PMD Version:
7.10.0
Rule:
https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedassignment
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines("someFile");
int lineNumber = 0;
boolean expectingAnotherLine = false;
for (String line : lines)
{
++lineNumber;
if (line.endsWith("\\"))
{
expectingAnotherLine = true; // line 9 - false positive unused assignment
continue;
}
expectingAnotherLine = false;
}
if (expectingAnotherLine)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unexpected end of line: " + command);
Expected outcome:
PMD reports a violation at line 9 (expectingAnotherLine = true;), but that's wrong. That's a false positive.
Running PMD through:
Maven plugin 3.26.0
