0.7.0

Features

• catch-all-module (SMP104) reports modules and packages named utils, helpers and other grab-bag names, from the naming.catch-all-modules list (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• cognitive-complexity (SMP529) reports a function whose cognitive complexity, as SonarSource defines it, is over the limit. The score counts each branch, loop and handler more the deeper it is nested, so the rule reads the nesting that Ruff's cyclomatic complexity check ignores. The limit is 20 by default and is set with max-cognitive-complexity under [tool.simplint.logic] (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• collection-built-by-statements (SMP531) reports an empty dict, list or set that the statements right after it only fill with entries, and writes those entries in the literal. The fix is safe when every key and value is a constant, and unsafe when one is a name, since a name that is not defined would leave the collection partly filled (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• duplicate-code (SMP530) reports six or more statements in a row that another module repeats, comparing their tokens, so comments, layout, imports and docstrings do not count. Test modules and stubs are left out, and logic.min-duplicate-statements sets how many statements a copy needs. It offers no fix (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• early-assignment (SMP526) reports a local assigned a constant, such as a number, string or a list of them, above the statements that do not use it, when its first use comes further down the same block. Moving the assignment down to that use keeps the value beside the code that reads it. It stays put in a function that reads names by their text, such as with exec, eval, locals or six.exec_, and when a string between the assignment and the use spells the name (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• import-cycle (SMP308) reports a runtime import that closes a cycle of modules importing each other when they load. The report names the cycle and sits on the import that closes it. Imports in a function, under if TYPE_CHECKING:, a __main__ guard, a false constant or a version check the project's target never passes, and except ImportError: fallbacks stay out of it, as do test modules (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• long-comment-line (SMP007) rewraps comment and docstring paragraphs with a line past the comment width, the lines Ruff's E501 and W505 report but cannot fix (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• long-tuple-return (SMP528) reports a function that returns a tuple of more elements than the limit, which is two by default, since a tuple of three or more values is a record whose fields a dataclass or a named tuple would name. The limit is set with max-tuple-elements under [tool.simplint.logic] (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• loop-in-test (SMP813) reports a for loop in a test function that runs the code under test once per case from a table the file lists, such as a literal or a module constant, and asserts on each result, since the first failure hides the rest. Parameterize the cases instead. Loops over values the test computes, range sweeps, while loops, loops that only compare items with one result, and assertions inside self.subTest(...) or pytest's subtests.test(...) are left alone (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• meaningless-name (SMP103) reports variables, parameters and attributes named with a placeholder word such as foo, from the naming.meaningless-names list (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• mock-assertion-typo (SMP814) reports mock assertion methods written without their assert_ prefix, such as called_once_with, or misspelled, such as assert_called_ones_with, and renames each to the assertion it stands for. The fix is unsafe: a call that checked nothing becomes a check, which may now fail. The unprefixed names return a child mock and pass silently on Python 3.11 and older, and so do the unprefixed awaited names on every version (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• restating-comment (SMP005) reports and removes own-line comments that only repeat the code below them (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• star-import (SMP309) reports from module import * when the project defines module and the file uses its names, and replaces the * with the names the file reads from it. The fix is safe when the module lists its exports in __all__, and unsafe otherwise (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• string-statement-comment (SMP006) reports triple-quoted strings used as comments and writes them as # comments (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• super-forwarding-method (SMP527) reports a method whose only statement returns the same method of super() called with its own arguments, such as return super().load(name), when the module defines the parent's method with the same parameters. Deleting the method lets the subclass inherit the parent's method. The fix is not offered for an annotated method, since its annotations are the types the subclass declares (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• test-only-parameter (SMP410) reports defaulted parameters that only test calls pass, while production calls leave them at their default (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• unused-definition (SMP409) reports functions, classes, methods and class attributes that nothing in the run uses. Public names of a library and names other code may read are left alone, and so are the names the project's Sphinx documentation gives through roles, autodoc directives or sphinx-argparse options (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• unused-fixture (SMP815) reports pytest fixtures that no test or fixture requests, by parameter, by a string such as a usefixtures or getfixturevalue argument, or through the fixture function (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• unused-return-value (SMP411) reports functions that production code calls without reading the value they return (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• up-compression-modules (SMP523) reports imports of gzip, bz2, lzma and zlib from Python 3.14, where the compression package names them. The fix is unsafe: compression re-exports the modules, so patches of the old module names do not reach the new ones (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• up-deprecated-stdlib-alias (SMP525) reports deprecated or removed standard library names that have a replacement, such as threading.currentThread, calendar.January and configparser.SafeConfigParser, from the Python version that deprecates or removes them. Renames are fixed; names that need a review are only reported (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• up-re-prefixmatch (SMP522) reports re.match() from Python 3.15, where re.prefixmatch() is the same function under a clearer name. The fix renames the call (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• up-utf8-encoding-default (SMP521) reports encoding="utf-8" on open(), io.open(), Path text methods and similar calls from Python 3.15, where UTF-8 is the default encoding. Its fix is unsafe: UTF-8 mode can be turned off with PYTHONUTF8=0 or -X utf8=0 (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• up-warnings-deprecated (SMP524) reports functions and classes that start with a DeprecationWarning warning from Python 3.13, where @warnings.deprecated marks them for type checkers. The fix is unsafe: a class then warns when instantiated, not when defined (#55) by @gaborbernat.

Changes

• constructor-after-method (SMP203) is renamed class-member-order, and it now orders the whole class body rather than only its constructors. A class body reads in sections: nested classes, class attributes, constructors in the order Python runs them, alternative constructors, other dunder methods, properties, then methods. A member that sits above a member of an earlier section is reported, with the section it belongs with, and one fix moves the members into place. A helper still follows its first caller, whatever its section, and definition-before-use (SMP201) and this rule compute the same order, so one --fix settles a class body. Both count moving a method whose decorators are all pure, such as @property or @classmethod, as a safe fix (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• constant-assert (SMP804) also reports a format call or % expression on a string literal whose text lies outside its fields, and a computation on literals that is truthy, such as 1 + 1 == 2. An assertion on a generator expression, which is always truthy, now gets an unsafe fix that wraps it in all(), unless the generator is asynchronous (#55) by @gaborbernat.

Bug fixes

• absolute-sibling-import (SMP302) no longer reports a stale cached result when an __init__.py is added to or removed from a directory listed in namespace-packages, where the file's package stays the same (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• A fix that removes a statement between two blank lines leaves one of them, as ruff format would, so files that ruff format does not run on, such as # fmt: off ones, gain no new E303 (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• Docstring fixes (SMP901, SMP902) no longer rewrite a file with a file-level ruff: noqa, flake8: noqa or ruff: file-ignore. Removing or reflowing the docstring could leave the codes of that directive unused, which Ruff then reports as RUF100 (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• missing-from-all (SMP401) removes the # noqa: F401 it makes unused when it lists the name in __all__, so Ruff's RUF100 no longer reports it. Names imported from one line share that noqa, which is removed once; before, an unapplied fix for them crashed simplint while it rendered the report (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• module-attribute-import (SMP304) no longer moves a name that a function rebinds through global, or that a file of the run stores on the module, into an import. The import would keep the value the module had when it loaded, so the rebinding would not reach the importer (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• module-variable-case (SMP102) and module-variable-prefix (SMP404) keep the names of a file named after a standard library module, such as typing_extensions.py, when another file of the run reads them off that module. The import resolves to the standard library, so the run cannot tell which file its reads reach (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• module-variable-case (SMP102), module-variable-prefix (SMP404) and unexported-public-name (SMP403) no longer rename a name that a string of any file in the run spells, such as the _compat.repr_context a generated code template reads or the "main" a test looks up with runpy. The check used to cover only the file being fixed, so an unsafe fix could break a test in another file (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• blanket-ignore (SMP004) and suppression-without-reason (SMP003) read noqa comments as Ruff does. A # noqa: whose colon names no code, a code that runs into other text, a # ruff: noqa after code on its line and a # ruff: file-ignore below module scope suppress nothing in Ruff, so they are no longer reported. A noqa comment silences simplint's errors by the same reading (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• test-class (SMP801) no longer flattens a test class with an E501 noqa or ruff: ignore in it: dedenting its methods shortens the line the directive covers, which Ruff then reported as RUF100 (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• single-use-variable (SMP504) no longer inlines a list comprehension whose elements call something into a call to all or any. Ruff's C419 then wrote it as a generator, which stops at the first false element, so the later calls never ran (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• single-use-variable (SMP504) decides on the layout a value takes once ruff format has run, so a second run after ruff format no longer inlines more. A value the source spreads over lines is inlined when the formatter would join it, into an f-string before Python 3.12 too, a value in parentheses the formatter drops is measured without them, and a value assigned before a semicolon is inlined into the statement after it (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• single-use-variable (SMP504) no longer offers a fix before Python 3.12 that puts an f-string with a string in its replacement field into another f-string. Such a fix broke the file's syntax, and simplint reverted every fix in it (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• single-use-variable (SMP504) counts a name that a string annotation or ForwardRef reads, so it no longer inlines a TypeVar read only in "list[T]", which left the annotation naming an undefined name (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• Without a pyproject.toml, a module under a test or tests package now counts as a test module wherever it sits in that package, so helpers and data files there get the test-only rules, such as test-module-docstring (SMP902), and their uses count as test uses for rules such as test-only-code (SMP408). The settings root is the directory the run starts from, as Ruff roots a project without configuration at the working directory, instead of each file's directory (#55) by @gaborbernat.
• unexported-public-name (SMP403) no longer renames a function or class whose __name__ or __qualname__ the run reads, as helper.__name__ or type(self).__name__ does, since the rename changes what the read returns (#55) by @gaborbernat.

Performance

• The cache keys a file's result by the other files of the run only when an enabled rule reads them, so an edit to one file no longer re-lints files checked by per-file rules alone. The reStructuredText rules that need no public API data no longer count as reading other files (#55) by @gaborbernat.
