Hello. I have this code

private fun assertSomething() {
        var count = 2
        if (count == 0) {
            error("field is empty")
        }
        runCatching {
            doSomeChecks()
        }.onFailure {
            refresh()
            count--
            assertSomething()
        }
    }

And IntelliJ IDEA has an inspection warning on

if (count == 0)

, saying that the condition is always

false

. I think it's a wrong warning, no? The

count

var will be equal to zero if the

doSomeChecks()

will fail twice.

The

count

variable is local to each individual function call. If you call the function again you get a new

count

with a new value.

Oh, indeed. Thank you!
