"no-unused-vars" rule false positive in inherited contracts about ethlint HOT 6 CLOSED

Ahh! When I test the whole code in a single file, it doesn't pose any errors.

You must've declared IMyContract in 1 file, and MyContract in another.
At a time, Solium lints only a single file, so it is not informed whether you are using the variable in some other file or not.

This needs fixing.

from ethlint.

this issue no longer persists since solium does not check state variables for usage any more.
feel free to re-open in case you face this (or something similar).

I'm unable to reproduce the error with the code you've posted. In fact, when I comment out someAddress = X;, then it gives me the var-not-used error (as expected), but when its not commented out, there is no error.

Could you tell me which version you're using? (solium --version)

I just installed 0.1.8 and it is still throwing the error

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILE:   /contracts/IMyContract.sol
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[WARNING] At line: 1, column: 0 -> Contract name 'IMyContract' doesn't follow the CamelCase notation

[ERROR] At line: 3, column: 2 -> Variable 'someAddress' is declared but never used.

Are you testing these in 2 separate files or as declared in 1?
