Hi All,

could someone please explain me the below behavior of PMD plugin, when trying to perform String Reassignment using ternary operators.

Please find the below sample code, which is throwing this exception.

country = (country == null || "".equals(country)) ? ((String) getCountry()) : country;

i am not sure, why PMD is treating the same as String Concatination instead of usual reassignment.

Thanks,

This looks like a bug. I've created an issue [#1340] for this. Thanks!

I can't reproduce this with PMD 5.3.1 - which version of PMD were you using?
