A flake8 extension that checks cyclomatic complexity and calculates max complexity limit in runtime

Project description

flake8-adjustable-complexity

Build Status Maintainability Test Coverage

An extension for flake8 to report on too complex functions with bad variables names.

Sometimes you want to use too generic variable name inside some function. It this case you want to be sure that the function is more simple that others, so a reader doesn't have to remember meaning of a variable together with other logic for a long time.

This plugin calculates max allowed cyclomatic complexity for each function separately. Default is 7 and it is decreased by 2 for each variable from blacklist inside the function. If actual complexity overcomes max calculated complexity, the plugin reports an error.

Max allowed cyclomatic complexity can be configured via --max-mccabe-complexity option.

Installation

pip install flake8-adjustable-complexity

Example

Sample file:

# test.py

def foo():
    for vars in range(5):
        for info in range(5):
            for obj in range(5):
                pass

Usage:

$ flake8 test.py
test.py:1:1: CAC001 is too complex (4 > 1)
