Summary
The same as rust-lang/rust#130021; Clippy inherited this code from rustc:
|
if cx.tcx.sess.opts.test { |
|
return false; |
|
} |
rustc removed it in rust-lang/rust#130025, which fixed missing_docs, but clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items has not picked that up.
(I don’t know whether this counts as a false negative or a false positive…)
Lint Name

I tried this code:
#![warn(clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items)]
pub fn public() {
private();
}
#[expect(clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items)]
fn private() {}I expected to see this happen:
