Repository Details

CodePecker is a tool to detect unused Swift code.

Notice: The "dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/lib_InternalSwiftSyntaxParser.dylib" or missing warnings are caused by a SwiftSyntax issue, SwiftSyntax with Swift 5.1.

Pecker

Pecker detects unused code. It's based on IndexStoreDB and SwiftSyntax.

Chinese Readme: 中文版readme.

Motivation

As your Swift project codebase grows, it is hard to locate unused code. You need to tell if some constructs are still in used. pecker does this job for you, easy and accurate.

Features

pecker detects the following Swift constructs:

  1. class
  2. struct
  3. enum
  4. protocol
  5. func
  6. typealias
  7. operator

Installation

There're more than one way to install pecker.

Using Homebrew

$ brew install woshiccm/homebrew-tap/pecker

Using CocoaPods:

pod 'Pecker'

This will download the pecker binaries and dependencies in Pods/ during your next run of pod install and will allow you to invoke it via ${PODS_ROOT}/Pecker/bin/pecker in your script build phases.

This is the recommended way to install a specific version of pecker since it supports installing a specific stable version rather than head version.

Using Mint:

mint install woshiccm/Pecker

Compiling from source

$ git clone https://github.com/woshiccm/Pecker.git
$ cd Pecker
$ make install

With that installed and in the bin folder, now it's ready to serve.

Usage

Xcode

Integrate pecker into an Xcode scheme to get warnings and errors displayed in the IDE. Just add a new "Run Script Phase" with:

if which pecker >/dev/null; then
  pecker
else
  echo "warning: Pecker not installed, download from https://github.com/woshiccm/Pecker"
fi

Alternatively, if you've installed Pecker via CocoaPods the script should look like this:

${PODS_ROOT}/Pecker/bin/pecker

Terminal

Note:

  1. In terminal, since project index path can't be retrieved automatically there, so you need to set index path through -i/--index-store-path
  2. Need to set reporter as json and set output_file, the path can be both relative and absolute. If output_file is not specified, it defaults to be pecker.result.json in your project.

For example:

In .pecker.yml, the configuration is:

reporter: "json"
output_file: pecker.result.json

In terminal, you input:

$ pecker --path /Users/ming/Desktop/Testttt -i /Users/ming/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Testttt-aohluxvofrwtfagozexmpeifvryf/Index/DataStore

Command Line

pecker [OPTIONS]
  • -v/--version: Prints the pecker version and exits.
  • --config: The custom path for configuration yaml file.
  • -i/--index-store-path: The Index path of your project, if unspecified, the default is ~Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/{your project}/Index/DataStore.

Run pecker in the project target to detect. Project will search Swift files recursively.

Rules

Current only 5 rules are included in Pecker, They are skip_public, xctest, attributes, xml, comment. You can add them to disabled_rules if you don't need it. You can also check Source/PeckerKit/Rules directory to see their implementation.

skip_public

This rule means skip detect public class, struct, function, etc. Usually the public code is provided for other users, so it is difficult to determine whether it is used. So we don't detect it by default. But in some cases, such as using submodule to organize code, you need to detect public code, you can add it to disabled_rules.

xctest

XCTest is special, we stipulate that ignore classes inherited from XCTestCase and functions of this class that hasPrefix "test" and do not contain parameters.

class ExampleUITests: XCTestCase {

    func testExample() { //used
    }

    func test(name: String) { // unused
    }
    
    func get() { // unused
    }
}

attributes

If a Declaration contains the attribute in BlackListAttribute, skip. Such as IBAction, we are continuously collecting, if you find new cases, please let us know.

@IBAction func buttonTap(_ sender: Any) { // used       
}

XML

If code is being used in .xib or storyboard, we say it's in use.

comment

Code can be ignored with a comment inside a source file with the following format:

  • Ignore specified code
// pecker:ignore 

For example:

// pecker:ignore
class TestCommentObject { // skip
    
    // pecker:ignore
    func test1() { // skip
    }
    
    func test2() { // unused
    }
}
  • Ignore all symbols under scope
// pecker:ignore all

For example:

// pecker:ignore all
class TestCommentObject { // skip
    
    func test1() { // skip
    }
    
    struct SubClass { // skip
        
        func test2() { // skip
        }
    }
}

Other rules

These rules are used by default, you cannot configure them.

override

Skip declarations that override another. This works for both subclass overrides & protocol extension overrides.

protocol ExampleProtocol {
	func test() // used
}

class Example: ExampleProtocol {
    func test() { // used
    }
}

class Animal {
    func run() {  // used
    }
}

class Dog: Animal {
    override func run() { // used
    }
}

extensions

Referenced elsewhere means used, except for extensions.

class UnusedExample { // unused
    
}

extension UnusedExample {
    
}

Configuration

This is optional, will use default, if unspecified. Configure pecker by adding a .pecker.yml file from the directory you'll run pecker from. The following parameters can be configured:

Rule inclusion:

  • disabled_rules: Disable rules from the default enabled set.

Reporter inclusion:

  • xcode: Warnings displayed in the IDE.

  • json: you can set path by output_file, and the path can be both relative and absolute path, if unspecified, the default is pecker.result.json in current project directory.

reporter: "xcode"

disabled_rules:
  - skip_public

included: # paths to include during detecting. `--path` is ignored if present.
  - ./
  
excluded: # paths to ignore during detecting. Takes precedence over `included`.
  - Carthage
  - Pods

excludedGroupName: # names of group to ignore during detecting.
  - SwiftPeckerTestUITests

blacklist_files: # files to ignore during detecting, only need to add file name, the file extension default is swift.
  - HomeViewController

blacklist_symbols: # symbols to ignore during detecting, contains class, struct, enum, etc.
  - AppDelegate
  - viewDidLoad

blacklist_superclass: # all the class inherit from class specified in the list will ignore
  - UITableViewCell

# If output_file is not specified, the defaults to be pecker.result.json in your project

output_file: pecker.result.jsonthe path can be both relative and absolute.
