Pattern: Unnecessary setter

Issue: -

Description

Checks for explicit calls to setter methods which can, for the most part, be replaced by assignment to property. A setter is defined as a method call that matches set[A-Z] but not set[A-Z][A-Z] such as setURL(). Setters take one method argument.

These bits of code produce violations:

  x.setProperty(1)
  x.setProperty(this.getA())
  x.setProperty([])

These bits of code do not:

  x.set(1)
  x.setup(2)
  x.setURL('')
  x.setSomething('arg1', 'arg2')
