hh_client --remove-dead-fixmes removes ALL fixmes

Author: ssandlerCreated Mar 24, 2022Updated Aug 3, 2026

Describe the bug Instead of only removing dead fixmes (which don't produce a type error when removed) this command now removes all of them.

Standalone code, or other way to reproduce the problem

$ git clone https://github.com/hhvm/hhast.git
$ cd hhast
$ composer install
$ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/hhast -w /hhast hhvm/hhvm:4.153-latest bash
$ hh_client --no-load
No errors!
$ hh_client --remove-dead-fixmes
$ hh_client
...
744 errors found.

Expected behavior

Only fixmes which can be removed without introducing typechecker errors are removed.

Actual behavior

Seemingly all fixmes are removed, introducing typechecker errors.
