Cloud Toolkit includes a Java code inspection feature. This feature performs static analysis on Java code based on the Alibaba Coding Guidelines. It helps you quickly identify code issues and provides suggestions for fixes before compilation.
Prerequisites
You have installed the Cloud Toolkit plugin, version 2019.11.1 or later. For more information about how to install the plugin, see the following topics:
Run a code inspection
Open your project in IntelliJ IDEA.
Right-click your application project name and select .
NoteIf you do not want to check the entire project, you can select a specific directory from the project files, click a blank area in the code editor, and then select to start the check.
The Inspection Results panel appears below the project directory. You can view the code inspection progress at the bottom of the panel.
By default, Cloud Toolkit categorizes detected issues by severity in descending order: Blocker, Critical, and Major.
ImportantBlocker issues may prevent the code from compiling successfully.
The left pane of the Inspection Results panel displays a directory of the issues. Click an issue to view its details in the right pane.
The following table describes the features of each area in the Inspection Results panel.
