Cognitive Complexity
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Either remove or fill this block of code. Open
} catch (IOException e) {}
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Most of the time a block of code is empty when a piece of code is really missing. So such empty block must be either filled or removed.
Noncompliant Code Example
for (int i = 0; i < 42; i++){} // Empty on purpose or missing piece of code ?
Exceptions
When a block contains a comment, this block is not considered to be empty unless it is a synchronized
block. synchronized
blocks are still considered empty even with comments because they can still affect program flow.
Define and throw a dedicated exception instead of using a generic one. Open
throw new RuntimeException(e);
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Using such generic exceptions as Error
, RuntimeException
, Throwable
, and Exception
prevents
calling methods from handling true, system-generated exceptions differently than application-generated errors.
Noncompliant Code Example
public void foo(String bar) throws Throwable { // Noncompliant throw new RuntimeException("My Message"); // Noncompliant }
Compliant Solution
public void foo(String bar) { throw new MyOwnRuntimeException("My Message"); }
Exceptions
Generic exceptions in the signatures of overriding methods are ignored, because overriding method has to follow signature of the throw declaration in the superclass. The issue will be raised on superclass declaration of the method (or won't be raised at all if superclass is not part of the analysis).
@Override public void myMethod() throws Exception {...}
Generic exceptions are also ignored in the signatures of methods that make calls to methods that throw generic exceptions.
public void myOtherMethod throws Exception { doTheThing(); // this method throws Exception }
See
- MITRE, CWE-397 - Declaration of Throws for Generic Exception
- CERT, ERR07-J. - Do not throw RuntimeException, Exception, or Throwable

Generic types shouldn't be used raw (without type parameters) in variable declarations or return values. Doing so bypasses generic type checking, and defers the catch of unsafe code to runtime.

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 96.
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
