This rule raises an issue when reflection is used to change the visibility of a class, method or field, and when it is used to directly update a field value. Altering or bypassing the accessibility of classes, methods, or fields violates the encapsulation principle and could lead to run-time errors.

Noncompliant Code Example

public void makeItPublic(String methodName) throws NoSuchMethodException {

  this.getClass().getMethod(methodName).setAccessible(true); // Noncompliant
}

public void setItAnyway(String fieldName, int value) {
  this.getClass().getDeclaredField(fieldName).setInt(this, value); // Noncompliant; bypasses controls in setter
}

Duplicated Code

Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:

Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.

When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).

Tuning

This issue has a mass of 101.

We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.

The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.

If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.

See codeclimate-duplication's documentation for more information about tuning the mass threshold in your .codeclimate.yml.

Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all constant names match a provided regular expression.

Noncompliant Code Example

With the default regular expression ^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*(_[A-Z0-9]+)*$:

public class MyClass {
  public static final int first = 1;
}

public enum MyEnum {
  first;
}

Compliant Solution

public class MyClass {
  public static final int FIRST = 1;
}

public enum MyEnum {
  FIRST;
}
