This check looks for methods that are used by a trait but not required by it.
To illustrate, let’s look at the following code example
The trait
Idable
provides a methodequalsId
that in turn relies on the methodgetId()
. If this method does not exist on a class mixing in this trait, the method will fail.Adding the
getId()
as an abstract method to the trait will make sure it is available.
