Hello community. I am primarily a Java developer. I have learned a lot of Groovy, and keep learning more every day. One challenge I have is validating my code reliably. Static analysis tools are abundant in the Java world, and I have even located one for Groovy that is a plug-in for Microsoft VS…

There is not much out there, the only thing that I know of is this: GitHub - gtg465x/hubitat-source-stub Personally have not tested because I use an extra Hub for development, but it could be a good start. Additionally there is not real / good groovy IDE.. or at least for VSCode. Good coding …

Dev hub Extensive testing LOADS of debug code initially Beta testers :slight_smile: Andy

I've recently started maintaining my code in VS Code and installed a lint add-on (Groovy Lint, format and fix - looks like it is the same one linked above by @saurabh9 ), but it does bring up a lot of warnings, so kind of off-putting to continue to use it. That may say more about my code than the ad…

The issue with repetitive literals is that in groovy they are actually reappeared in memory, whereas in Java, duplicate literals are normalized, creating a single instance. This is a memory issue. If you repeat the same literal more than once, assign it to a variables and reference the variable. …

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.... I guess my gripe, with the extension (not you :slight_smile:), is that some relatively simple literals used twice trigger the warning. I get the general idea with what you are describing, and can appreciate it may make a difference either in methods that have a n…

Intellij works very well for this.
