This is still being reported for object variables.
I thought I had raised this before but a search in the issues didn't bring up that subject.
Usually I get the inspection "Variable is never assigned" as well, which seems redundant.
I thought we had an open one for this too, but it's possible that we might have been "tracking" this on another tangential issue that was closed. Is there a specific piece of code that's tripping this inspection?
Here's one:
line 11 Dim CodeMod As VBIDE.CodeModule
but it is assigned in
line 31 Set CodeMod = VBComp.CodeModule
This also happens with variables assigned byref but I can understand that'll be hard to catch.
Here's another
Line 12 Private mStack As Collection, <--- module private
but later
Line 48 Set mStack = New Collection
OK, thanks. That will at least provide a start for some failing unit tests.
I'm getting this bug all the time - variables that are assigned being flagged as not so. Quite often it seems that the setting of the variable is within an If..Then construct, but not always. Eg here's a very simple proc with this issue
Sub Tests()
Dim mynmr As String
Dim rng As Range
mynmr = HasNamedRange(ActiveCell)
Set rng = GetRangeFromNMR(mynmr)
Debug.Print Intersect(rng, ActiveSheet.Cells) Is Nothing
End Sub
This is flagged as "Variable rng is never assigned" which it clearly is.
And I have this issue on tens of variables in the same project.
FYI from a quick inspection, it appears this is only for object variables needing the "Set" keyword, but this is not 100%.
Also get similar problems with "Return value for member xxx is never assigned" when again it clearly is.
Excuse me, I'm new to this github stuff. Is there a value in saying "me too"? If so, what is the proper way to add a "me too" on an open issue? How do you measure prevalence of an issue?
@A9G-Data-Droid you can use the "reactions" drop-down and "thumbs-up" the issue :-)
