B110: Test for a pass in the except block
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Errors in Python code bases are typically communicated using ``Exceptions``.
|
|
An exception object is 'raised' in the event of an error and can be 'caught' at
|
|
a later point in the program, typically some error handling or logging action
|
|
will then be performed.
|
|
|
|
However, it is possible to catch an exception and silently ignore it. This is
|
|
illustrated with the following example
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
do_some_stuff()
|
|
except Exception:
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
This pattern is considered bad practice in general, but also represents a
|
|
potential security issue. A larger than normal volume of errors from a service
|
|
can indicate an attempt is being made to disrupt or interfere with it. Thus
|
|
errors should, at the very least, be logged.
|
|
|
|
There are rare situations where it is desirable to suppress errors, but this is
|
|
typically done with specific exception types, rather than the base Exception
|
|
class (or no type). To accommodate this, the test may be configured to ignore
|
|
'try, except, pass' where the exception is typed. For example, the following
|
|
would not generate a warning if the configuration option
|
|
``checked_typed_exception`` is set to False:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
do_some_stuff()
|
|
except ZeroDivisionError:
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
**Config Options:**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
try_except_pass:
|
|
check_typed_exception: True
|
|
|
|
|
|
:Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
>> Issue: Try, Except, Pass detected.
