Code Inspection: Empty general catch clause
Consider the following code snippet:
string text = "";
try
{
text = File.ReadAllText("test.txt");
} catch { }
In this snippet, the catch
clause catches absolutely all errors. Since a non-response to an exception is a fairly rare (and potentially dangerous) thing, JetBrains Rider warns about this and offers to catch an Exception
. There are, however, usages of a catch-all statement that are justified.
