← All rules

Summary

Consecutive empty lines

Identifiers

Field	Value
Rule code	BSL055
Compatible alias	ConsecutiveEmptyLines
Severity	INFORMATION
Without configuration	Yes
BSLLS JSON, ON mode without overrides	Yes
Registry flag implemented	Yes
Tags	style, formatting

The implemented flag describes the registry; it does not certify verified BSLLS parity.

Behavior

• The public identifier BSL055 and alias ConsecutiveEmptyLines are stable.
• The rule reports the cases documented on this page.
• Suppressions and project configuration are applied before publication.
• The rule requires neither an external analyzer nor network access.

Configuration and suppression

BSL### is the primary stable identifier. The compatible alias is accepted in select, ignore, and compatible block suppression comments.

[tool.onec-hbk-bsl]
select = ["BSL055"]
ignore = ["ConsecutiveEmptyLines"]

All three suppression families support both a current line and a range. When an opening comment follows code, it affects only that line. Use any one form:

• noqa:

Value = "example";  // noqa: BSL055

• bsl-disable:

Value = "example";  // bsl-disable: BSL055

• compatible BSLLS form:

Value = "example";  // BSLLS:ConsecutiveEmptyLines-off

When the same opening comment is on a line by itself, it starts a range. Close it with the matching marker from the same family:

// noqa: BSL055
// code without this diagnostic
// noqa-enable: BSL055

// bsl-disable: BSL055
// code without this diagnostic
// bsl-enable: BSL055

// BSLLS:ConsecutiveEmptyLines-off
// code without this diagnostic
// BSLLS:ConsecutiveEmptyLines-on

To disable the rule until the end of the file, omit the closing noqa-enable, bsl-enable, or BSLLS:…-on marker.

Opening and closing markers must belong to the same family.

Description

To separate blocks of code among themselves, insert an empty line.

Inserting 2 or more empty lines does not carry this value and leads to a meaningless increase in the length of the method or module.
