Rather than running all enabled inspections,
IntelliJ IDEA makes it possible to exactly specify the desired inspection by its name and run it to
inspect the code in the specific scope.
To run a code inspection by name
On the main menu, choose
Analyze | Run Inspection by Name
, or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I.
In the pop-up frame that opens, start typing the inspection name. As you type, the suggestion list
shrinks to show the matching inspection only.
The
Specify Inspection Scope
dialog box opens.
In the
Inspection scope
area, specify which files should be inspected.
To have the source code of the entire project inspected, select the
Whole Project
option.
To run an inspection for the currently opened file, or the file(s)/folder(s) selected in the
Project
view, select the
File/Module <name>
option.
To apply inspect code in a specific
scope, select the
Custom scope
option, then choose the desired scope from the drop-down list or click the
Browse
button
and
configure a new scope
in the
Scopes
dialog box.
To have test source files inspected too, select the
Include test sources
check box.
To apply inspection only in files matching the specific mask, select the
File Masks(s) and specify the file mask.
Use comma to separate multiple file masks.
