How to find weak warnings?

Hi there,

Please use "Code | Inspect Code..." to see detailed output.

no indicators are shown in the scrollbar

Indicators are just styling elements -- it's possible that your color schema does not have one for weak warnings (just a thought).

Another possible explanation -- analysis is "ghosting" from previous run. Using the aforementioned action will reset it.

I have the same problem.

PhpStorm 10 build 143.381

if I mouse over the square indicator it says 2 weak warnings
if I run inspect code it says No suspicious code found

Thanks for support.

Error colors are set in Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts | General, correct?

The "Error stripe mark" checkbox and color refer to the indicator in the scroll bar, right?

That is correct.

Hi, to make it even more clear I've made 2 screenshots after running the "Inspect Code..." on the current file.

No-suspicious-code-found-1.png shows that it found no suspicious code:


No-suspicious-code-found-2.png shows that there is one weak warning:


This makes me think that suspicious code and weak warnings are unrelated, is that true?

Are "Code Inspection" and Analysis 2 different parts (things)?

Is it not so easy (impossible?) to find the weak warning?

Same for me

Sorry, no ideas then.

Whenever I see such stuff in PHP files the "Inspect Code..." works for me (at least always did in the past). You seems to have this issue with JS code -- not sure how and why different IDE behavior could be here.

Can you create standalone code sample (with all required dependencies in it) that would reproduce such behavior in brand new project?

As far as I'm aware:

• there is parser/lexer on the bottom that checks that code is OK from language point of view and if not shows errors (red code). Such errors cannot be suppressed and it's not done as Inspections (although for reporting (code review?) purposes they may be showing as separate entries in Inspect Code results -- depends on actual implementation. This one should produce errors only.
  
• then you have (optional) Inspections on the top (optional because you can disable or suppress them). They can produce any kind of results -- warnings/weak warnings/typos etc (plus, you can change severity manually).
  

In IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.2  I had to

right click | Analyze | Inspect Code...

IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.2
Build #IU-145.972, built on May 14, 2016
JRE: 1.8.0_76-release-b162 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

I had the same problem. I just did an invalidate caches and restart and the weak error went away.

That dual screenshot was very helpful, @CornelisBrouwers. Yes, @DavidF has the workaround, File | Invalidate Caches/Restart..

It's been a chronic (if minor) annoyance getting this contradictory condition daily for months in PyCharm Pro 2016.2.3. I tend to have several windows open for days. Restarting PyCharm may fix it (even without invalidating caches) but it always comes back eventually. Today I had this in the Analysis popup:

     "31 weak warnings found"

yet F2 says:

     "No errors found in this file"

PyCharm is denying me that encouraging feeling that only comes from the green checkmark.

Hi, I would suggest to share any info you can provide in a related bug report: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-17682

This would possibly help our devs to nail down the root cause of the issue.

Another (faster) workaround may be to "Select All -> Cut -> Paste" instead of having to restart the IDE.

Works for me as it re-triggers the code analyis and removes any incorrect warnings.

Had the same issue in PyCharm. Solved it without a restart by using the following steps:

File > Invalidate Caches / Restart > Just Invalidate > Close file > Open file

Still happens daily for me in JavaScript using PyCharm 2017.1.3. (May be fixed in Python?)

@dimitry.tronin that bug report has been marked "obsolete" without explanation. So it cannot be voted upon.

I'm all but giving up on youtrack, or at least the JetBrains implementation that dogfoods it (which is otherwise admirable by the way).  Duplicates are assiduously marked, but bugs languish for years. None of my reports or comments or votes or stars have ever led to a fix as far as I can tell.

Just close the file and open it again!

Worked for me...

@Bob Stein, yeah, I'm also a bit surprised this bug got closed without explanation.

What file types gives you the behavior described? JS/py? Issue might be caused by additional inspection settings or code-analysis tools (smth similar to ESlint or php code sniffer).

Yes, @dimitry.tronin I have gotten this error with both Python and JavaScript files recently. (I thought it had stopped in Python but it's happened twice since then.)  At the moment I have ... 25 weak warnings that aren't really there on the JS file I'm working on. None on the PY.

And yes @Mohammad Amin Chitgarha, close & open clears it.

Still can't reproduce on cue.  Takes about an hour of editing for it to crop up.

Happened today in PyCharm 2017.2.1 in a python file:  a false-positive typo indication in upper right corner (green squiggle). F2 reports no errors.

Try going to File->Invalidate Caches \ Restart -> Invalidate and restart. This fixed things for me once it reloaded. 

@DelHyman-Jones that has been suggested by @DavidF and a similar one by @YorgosV, above. It does make the problem go away but it's hardly a fix. As this condition appears dozens of times a day for me, I would rank the workarounds, from most-to-least painful:

4. Invalidate Caches and Restart.

3. Invalidate Caches, close and reopen file.

2. Close and reopen file.

1. Ignore the Analysis icon and hit F2 (Next Highlighted Error) every time you want to know if there are any REAL errors or warnings in the file.
