AnnotateFormatMethod suggests adding non-existent annotation @LenientFormatString (original) (raw)
The AnnotateFormatMethod check was updated in #5025 to add support for @LenientFormatString, but that annotation does not seem to exist. I've attached a minimal example to reproduce
Output:
$ mvn clean compile ... [WARNING] /private/tmp/annotate-format-repro/src/main/java/com/example/Example.java:[7,21] [AnnotateFormatMethod] This method uses a pair of parameters as a format string and its arguments, but the enclosing method wasn't annotated. Doing so gives compile-time rather than run-time protection against malformed format strings.
