Describe the PR
This was discussed in #4251 in the context of replacing the Apex AST. This functionality is [feasible but] not planned for the new AST. It's also not fully certain how it behaves in the existing AST.
The two uses of
ApexRootNode.getApexVersion
are in AbstractApexUnitTestRule.java and ApexUnitTestShouldNotUseSeeAllDataTrueRule.java. It determines whether to also visit test methods without@IsTest
if they predate the@isTest
introduction API version 24. Assuming thatgetApexVersion
actually parses the metadata API, this could lead to false negatives in rules that would otherwise fire on test-only code.
