Summary: Import shadows import

Category: Imports

Notice: Rule made obsolete by OPA 1.0​

Since Regal v0.30.0, this rule is only enabled for projects that have either been explicitly configured to target versions of OPA before 1.0, or if no configuration is provided — where Regal is able to determine that an older version of OPA/Rego is being targeted. Consult the documentation on Regal's configuration for information on how to best work with older versions of OPA and Rego.

Since OPA v1.0, this rule is automatically disabled as OPA itself now forbids this, and shadowed imports will result in a parse error.

Avoid

package policy

import data.permissions
import data.users

# Already imported
import data.permissions

Prefer

package policy

import data.permissions
import data.users

Rationale​

Duplicate imports are redundant, and while harmless, should just be removed.

Configuration Options​

This linter rule provides the following configuration options:

rules:
  imports:
    import-shadows-import:
      # one of "error", "warning", "ignore"
      level: error
