TRF006
Cache arguments declared in a forward signature should be used in its body.
| Default | Enabled |
| Scope | All models |
| Source | mlinter/trf006.py |
| Show in terminal | mlinter --rule TRF006 |
What it does
Checks that cache arguments in a forward signature are used in the body.
Why is this bad?
An unused cache argument suggests incomplete caching support and inconsistent API behavior.
Example
def forward(self, x, past_key_values=None, use_cache=False):
+ if use_cache:
+ ...
return x
Suppressing this rule
Add a # trf-ignore: TRF006 comment on the flagged line or the line directly above it. See Suppressing rules for whole-file directives and when a suppression is the wrong answer.
Allowlisted models
4 models are exempt from TRF006 in mlinter/rules.toml, because they predate the convention and cannot be changed without breaking backward compatibility.
