📖 Rule Details
While (re-)writing long regular expressions, it can happen that one forgets to remove the | character of a former alternative. This rule tries to point out these potential mistakes by reporting all empty alternatives.
If the empty alternative is supposed to match the empty string, then use a quantifier instead. For example, a| should be written as a?.
🔧 Options
