Re: [Codenarc-user] Incomplete AST nodes?

[Hamlet D. <ham...@ca...>]

CodeNarc runs in a fairly early compiler phase. We do this so that you don't need to have the project's compiled class files on the classpath... you can still run CodeNarc even if your build/code is broken! On the negative side, that means a lot of type information is missing. Be careful when referencing types because any non-JDK types may not exist at the time you run CodeNarc. 

Do you have a simple example of the source the shows Object as the parent class with the missing inheritence problem? SOmething like
{code}
class A {}
class B extends A {}
class C extends B {}
{code}
Or something simple like that? 

ALso, I'd love to hear the specifics of the rule. Perhaps I can quickly write it for you, that way we can include it in the base product rather than leave it to something for you to maintain. (just a thought)
