WartRemover is a flexible Scala code linting tool implemented as a compiler plugin, with an sbt plugin for easy integration. It flags unsafe or error-prone Scala language features (like null, var, Any) via configurable 'warts' that can be errors, warnings, or suppressed.

Use cases

  • lint scala code for unsafe constructs like null and var
  • enforce coding standards in a scala build
  • ban error-prone scala features at compile time
  • write custom lint rules for scala
  • integrate static analysis into sbt builds

When to choose

  • you want compile-time enforcement of safe Scala practices
  • you use sbt and want a pluggable linter with configurable rules
  • you need custom lint rules via macros or compiler plugin API

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose formatter rather than a linter
  • your project is not on the JVM or not written in Scala
  • you want IDE-only inspections without build integration
