== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Having all branches of an `if` chain with the same implementation indicates a problem.
|
|
|
|
In the following code:
|
|
|
|
[source,python]
|
|
----
|
|
if b == 0: # Noncompliant
|
|
do_one_more_thing()
|
|
elif b == 1:
|
|
do_one_more_thing()
|
|
else:
|
|
do_one_more_thing()
|
|
|
|
b = 4 if a > 12 else 4 # Noncompliant
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Either there is a copy-paste error that needs fixing or the unnecessary `if` chain needs removing.
|
|
|
|
=== Exceptions
|
|
|
|
This rule does not apply to `if` chains without `else`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,python]
|
|
----
|
|
if b == 0: # no issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
|
|
do_one_more_thing()
|
|
elif b == 1:
|
|
do_one_more_thing()
