Class TryFailThrowable

java.lang.Object
com.google.errorprone.bugpatterns.BugChecker
com.google.errorprone.bugpatterns.TryFailThrowable
All Implemented Interfaces:
BugChecker.TryTreeMatcher, Suppressible, Serializable
public class TryFailThrowable extends BugChecker implements BugChecker.TryTreeMatcher
A bug checker for the following code pattern: 
try {
  // do something
  Assert.fail(); // or any Assert.assert*
  // maybe do something more
} catch (Throwable t) {
  // empty or only comments
}
* Matches all static methods named "fail" and starting with "assert" from the following classes:
  • org.junit.Assert,
  • junit.framework.Assert,
  • junit.framework.TestCase - which overrides the methods from Assert in order to deprecate them and
  • every class whose name ends with "MoreAsserts".
Possible improvements/generalizations of this matcher:
  • support multiple catch() blocks
