The checks PipeChainStart and ABC-Size allow a parameter excluded_functions.
This does not seem to work.
I have this function credo does not like:
def hello do
Kernel.+(1, 1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
|> Kernel.+(1)
end
credo complains:
┃ [F] → Function is too complex (ABC size is 31, max is 30).
┃ lib/credo_check.ex:3:7 #(CredoCheck.hello)
┃ [F] → Pipe chain should start with a raw value.
┃ lib/credo_check.ex:5 #(CredoCheck.hello)
with this config:
{Credo.Check.Refactor.PipeChainStart, [excluded_functions: ["hello"]]},
{Credo.Check.Refactor.ABCSize, [excluded_functions: ["hello"]]},
I also tried
:hello"CredoCheck.hello""hello/0"~r/hello/

Based on the tests for
PipeChainStart,excluded_functionsis a list of functions that are allowed to start a chain, not functions that are allowed to have a chain in them:https://github.com/rrrene/credo/blob/61a91b0abf3b085f60a41703d2fbcf361b5c1481/test/credo/check/refactor/pipe_chain_start_test.exs#L219-L229
You likely want inline config comments on
helloinstead.Sebb
thanks for looking into this.
Makes sense for Pipe, but for ABC
excluded_functionsshould exclude functions that are allowed to be complex, right?al2o3cr
Looks like Pipe has similar functionality, for similar reasons:

Hi but how can I exclude a function?
For example I have
How can I exclude the
fromfunction to be warned by credo?gregvaughn
This may be an unwelcome tangent, but credo would not complain if you wrote this code in the more idiomatic way
DavidRawk-Blake
The example is contrived. I don’t understand how people can’t see this. It’s meant to be silly..
Sometimes a function is only complex if you can’t read. Which is perfectly sane for a linter to catch. But the OP code isn’t complex.
