Add a default case to this switch. Open
switch (featureID) {

- Create a ticketCreate a ticket
- Exclude checks
The requirement for a final default
clause is defensive programming. The clause should either take appropriate action, or contain a
suitable comment as to why no action is taken.
Noncompliant Code Example
switch (param) { //missing default clause case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; } switch (param) { default: // default clause should be the last one error(); break; case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; }
Compliant Solution
switch (param) { case 0: doSomething(); break; case 1: doSomethingElse(); break; default: error(); break; }
Exceptions
If the switch
parameter is an Enum
and if all the constants of this enum are used in the case
statements,
then no default
clause is expected.
Example:
public enum Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY } ... switch(day) { case SUNDAY: doSomething(); break; case MONDAY: doSomethingElse(); break; }

Add a nested comment explaining why this method is empty, throw an UnsupportedOperationException or complete the implementation. Open
protected void reset() {
- Read upRead up
- Create a ticketCreate a ticket
- Exclude checks
There are several reasons for a method not to have a method body:
- It is an unintentional omission, and should be fixed to prevent an unexpected behavior in production.
- It is not yet, or never will be, supported. In this case an
UnsupportedOperationException
should be thrown. - The method is an intentionally-blank override. In this case a nested comment should explain the reason for the blank override.
Noncompliant Code Example
public void doSomething() { } public void doSomethingElse() { }
Compliant Solution
@Override public void doSomething() { // Do nothing because of X and Y. } @Override public void doSomethingElse() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); }
Exceptions
Default (no-argument) constructors are ignored when there are other constructors in the class, as are empty methods in abstract classes.
public abstract class Animal { void speak() { // default implementation ignored } }

Define a constant instead of duplicating this literal "' is not a valid enumerator of '" 3 times. Open

- Read upRead up

Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
public void run() { prepare("action1"); // Noncompliant - "action1" is duplicated 3 times execute("action1"); release("action1"); } @SuppressWarning("all") // Compliant - annotations are excluded private void method1() { /* ... */ } @SuppressWarning("all") private void method2() { /* ... */ } public String method3(String a) { System.out.println("'" + a + "'"); // Compliant - literal "'" has less than 5 characters and is excluded return ""; // Compliant - literal "" has less than 5 characters and is excluded }
Compliant Solution
private static final String ACTION_1 = "action1"; // Compliant public void run() { prepare(ACTION_1); // Compliant execute(ACTION_1); release(ACTION_1); }
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 5 characters are excluded.
