Erroneous Unused Binding Errors

[jrbaxter0]

The linter is reporting Variable has been assigned but not used.Julia(UnusedBinding) for nearly every variable inside every function. Here’s an example: normal is very clearly used on the following line.

I was advised to disable the following setting: julia.lint.useoffuncargs, which I did, then restarted VSCode. This did not make a difference. The file is saved, not temprorary, and this has been observed with both the release and pre-release versions.

Appears related to: #2601
I originally brought this up on discourse: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/erroneous-unused-binding-errors/91324

Another recent example when using the julia repo:

The variable S is marked as unused.

I have experienced this issue a lot, and I find that if I adjust the formatting to make sure there is a line ending right after the "unused" variable is defined, the linter corrects the display.

In the example above, I would go to the line S = eigtype(eltype(A)) and hit Enter after the last closing parenthesis.

After I make this kind of formatting adjustment, the linter correctly identifies the variable as used and I delete the extra blank line if I don't want them (sometimes I realise it makes the code look more readable and keep it).

I hope this information is helpful to you.
