Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Possibly excessive whitespace trim

Reports excessive whitespace trims in Go template expressions. Inspection follows the following logic applied to each statement:

1. Doesn't have any trims → Skip it

2. Has both trims and is surrounded by non-blank elements → Problem

3. Has both trims and has preceding or succeeding non-blank elements → Problem if it produces values (e.g., it is a non-empty element itself)

4. Has the left trim and preceding non-blank element → Same as the previous one

5. Has the right trim and succeeding non-blank element → Same as the previous one
