Avoid-Jumping-In-Finally

Avoid-Jumping-In-Finally¶

Sourcery rule id: `avoid-jumping-in-finally`¶

Description¶

Avoid the use of jump statements in finally blocks.

Match¶

try {
  stuff();
} finally {
  for (thing of things) {
    return;
  }
}

Explanation¶

Returning results or throwing exceptions in finally blocks (of try..catch..finally) suppresses propagation of unhandled exceptions. The return, break, throw, and continue statements should therefore not be used within a finally block.
