Avoid catches without on clauses DRT-W1047

Anti-pattern
Major

AVOID catches without on clauses.

Using catch clauses without on clauses make your code prone to encountering unexpected errors that won't be thrown (and thus will go unnoticed).

BAD:

try {
 somethingRisky()
}
catch(e) {
  doSomething(e);
}

GOOD:

try {
 somethingRisky()
}
on Exception catch(e) {
  doSomething(e);
}
