Hi everyone, is there a rule that can detect errors like the following? Say I have a DSL that involves using unary plus operators on strings. Like:

createReport {
     + "Some text"
     + "Some more text"
     "More text" // this will not be included because the unary plus operator was accidentally left out
}

Note this code compiles without errors or warnings and there is no IDE warning. Yet, there is a bug because “More text” was not properly included. Is there any rule that can detect things like this, where the unary plus operator is accidentally forgotten?

You can create an issue for new rule proposal in detekt github

Why detekt and not ktlint?

From ktlint point of view this seems to be a fine code(if you consider only styling) but

detekt

checks covers code smell, potential bugs etc etc. But you can create an issue in

ktlint

as well

Ah I see, so ktlint is mainly for style bug detekt’s scope includes bugs and code smell as well? interesting

Kind of true. Ktlint mostly focuses on issue which doesn't require semantics of code only dealing with the PSI structure while detekt has semantics information as well

I see. Thank you for the context
