Production Risk
How we detect
Why you should care
Having multiple lines as one line of code remarkably decreases readability of the code. This makes the source code tougher to understand, and execute, causing it to more error prone and susceptible to bugs in the near-future.
Business Impacts
Combining multiple lines of code on one line is risky because it makes the code unreadable and less productive in the long run.
CAST Recommendations
How we detect
This code insight shows that the whitespace at the beginning of each line can’t be safely stripped at compile time;
whitespace after the slash will result in tricky errors;
and while most script engines support this, it is not part of ECMAScript.
Use string concatenation instead.
