Is this project limited to Rails/Phoenix code?

[mausch]

Hi, this project looks very interesting! Just wondering if it's only meant to work on Rails/Phoenix code?
I generated tags using universal-ctags on C# and Python projects but unused doesn't seem to find any unused code (there's obvious unused code that I introduced on purpose to test this).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what "unused code" means in the context of this tool?

For example given this Python code:

xx=1
print("Hello World")

I get this output from nix shell nixpkgs#universal-ctags nixpkgs#unused -c sh -c "ctags -R; unused":

== UNUSED SUMMARY ==
   Tokens found: 0
   Files found: 0
   Applied language filters: except Markdown, JSON
   Sort order: token (asc)
   Usage likelihood: high
   Configuration setting: Default

I was expecting it to find xx=1 as unused code.

$ nix shell nixpkgs#universal-ctags nixpkgs#unused -c sh -c "unused doctor"
Unused Doctor

[OK] Check: Is the tags file not present in the list of files searched?

[Warning] Check: Are tokens found in the application?
     1 token(s) found
[OK] Check: Are files found in the application?

[OK] Check: Is the tags file generated with Universal Ctags?
     Using tags program: Universal Ctags (Derived from Exuberant Ctags)
[OK] Check: Does the loaded configuration have available project types?
     Loaded the following project configurations: Rails, Phoenix

Outcome: 4 OK, 1 warnings, 0 errors

Hi @mausch !

It's not just geared towards Ruby and Elixir codebases, no.

unused doctor is hinting at a warning around the number of tags unused is finding (just 1) - it looks like Ctags may not be picking up tags. Can you check the tags file unused is finding and see if you can generate more tags?
