Sometimes unused class or function manages to slip into code base. Static code checkers like ruff, flake8 does not have rules for detecting such globally unused code.
I tried using vulture, but it has too many false positives to have it as part of CI/CD pipeline.
I have tried to implement my own, more reliable check for global deadcode detection.
Please let me know what you think about it.
Interesting. I’ll have to give it a try.
Currently putting together unit tests for a project and I’m using pytest-cov to identify unused blocks of code (that I need to define tests to invoke). A lot of time code isn’t used but should remain as it has a purpose for a future / anticipated need
