FP in S128: "Switch cases should end with an unconditional "break" statement"

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hi,
I’m using version 6.7.5 of SonarQube.

Rule “Switch cases should end with an unconditional “break” statement” raises an error on following piece of code:

	switch (in) {
	case 0:
		return 0;
	case 1: // SonarQube violation here: 
            // "End this switch case with an unconditional break, return or throw statement."
		try {
			return doIt();
		} finally {
		}
	default:
		return 99;
	}

For me, in case 1, I always return or throw an exception, even though there’s a finally statement.
Do I miss something or is this a false positive?
Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Nicolas

Hello @nico, thanks for the feedback and the clean reproducer, it’s always appreciated.

I also think this is a wrong behavior of the rule, I created a ticket to improve it.

Best,
Quentin
