LGTM.com - false positive: JS type of console.log variable incorrectly detected #2666
Description
Description of the false positive
The variable is defined with var originalLog = console.log;. typeof console.log is function or object (an exotic implementation object that is callable) depending on the browser.
The warning says it has type "boolean, date, number, object, regular expression or string" - there's a few problems with this:
- Dates and RegExps are not a type in JS (and if they are, Arrays, Maps, Sets, Promises, etc are too)
- this is also missing
symbolandbigint - Given the possible exotic type of
console.logasobject- a callable object - this is not actually a valid warning.
