Guide for using Structural Search and Replace in IntelliJ. Use when creating or modifying SSR inspections or search patterns.
You must use terminal search (ls, cat and grep) to read directory .idea. Do not use IDE search.
The contents of structural search inspections is located in .idea/inspectionProfiles/idea_default.xml
Here is an example of a Structural Search and Replace inspection:
<replaceConfiguration name="Use Strings.areSameInstance instead of =="
description="Comparing Strings by references usually indicate a mistake, if you really need to do this (for performance reeasons or to implement "Sentinel" pattern), use Strings.areSameInstance method to make the intention explicit and get rid of warning."
suppressId="StringEqualitySSR"
problemDescriptor="Use !Strings.areSameInstance instead of '!=' if you really need to compare strings by reference"
text="$s1$ == $s2$" recursive="false" caseInsensitive="false" type="JAVA" pattern_context="default"
search_injected="false" reformatAccordingToStyle="false" shortenFQN="true"
replacement="com.intellij.openapi.util.text.Strings.areSameInstance($s1$, $s2$)">
<constraint name="__context__" within="" contains=""/>
<constraint name="s1" nameOfExprType="java\.lang\.String" within="" contains=""/>
<constraint name="s2" nameOfExprType="java\.lang\.String" within="" contains=""/>
</replaceConfiguration>
This node should be located under <inspection_tool class="SSBasedInspection" tag.
<searchConfiguration name="Raw coroutine scope creation" uuid="e11e9d2f-7cc2-3359-a78a-24f67cbe0850"
description="Coroutine scope should be created: <ul> <li>by a coroutine builder (<code>launch</code>, <code>async</code>, <code>runBlockingCancellable</code>);</li> <li>by a scoping function (<code>withContext</code>, <code>coroutineScope</code>, <code>supervisorScope</code>);</li> <li>by injecting it into a service constructor;</li> <li>by explicitly creating a child scope (<code>childScope</code>, <code>namedChildScope</code>)</li> </ul> "
suppressId="RAW_SCOPE_CREATION"
problemDescriptor="Raw scope might not be linked to any parent unintentionally (if passed context does not have any <code>Job</code>, or if passed <code>Job</code> does not have any parent).
