pointless-import

Summary: Importing own package is pointless

Category: Imports

Avoid

package policy

# pointless, as policy is the own package
import data.policy

# pointless, as rules in own package can be referenced without the import
import data.policy.rule

rule if {
    # ..conditions..
}

Prefer

package policy

Rationale

There's no point importing the own package, or rules from the same module, as both can be referenced just as well without the import.

Configuration Options

This linter rule provides the following configuration options:

rules:
  imports:
    pointless-import:
      # one of "error", "warning", "ignore"
      level: error
