gettercheck

gettercheck is a program for checking for unused getters in Golang programs.

Install

go get -u github.com/saiskee/gettercheck

gettercheck requires Go 1.12 or newer.

Use

For basic usage, just give the package path of interest as the first argument:

gettercheck github.com/saiskee/gettercheck/testdata

To check all packages beneath the current directory:

gettercheck ./...

Or check all packages in your $GOPATH and $GOROOT:

gettercheck all

gettercheck also recognizes the following command-line options:

-ignoregenerated: This will ignore any files that are generated, e.g. any files that have a line that matches the regex ^//\s+Code generated.*DO NOT EDIT\.$.

-ignoretests: This will ignore any test files, or any files that end with _test.go.

-verbose: Will print a more verbose message on unused getters that are found. This will include the source file of the unused getter.

The package provides Analyzer instance that can be used with go/analysis API.

Just as the API itself, the analyzer is exprimental and may change in the future.
