Credo v1.4.0-rc.1 Credo.Check.Warning.UnusedPathOperation View Source

This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

The result of a call to the Path module's functions has to be used.

While this is correct ...

def read_from_cwd(filename) do
  filename = Path.join(cwd, filename)

  File.read(filename)
end

... we forgot to save the result in this example:

def read_from_cwd(filename) do
  Path.join(cwd, filename)

  File.read(filename)
end

Path operations never work on the variable you pass in, but return a new variable which has to be used somehow.

Configuration parameters

There are no parameters for this check.
