[Groovy] Class MissingNewInThrowStatementRule

  org.codenarc.rule.AbstractAstVisitorRule

class MissingNewInThrowStatementRule
extends AbstractAstVisitorRule

A common Groovy mistake when throwing exceptions is to forget the new keyword. For instance, "throw RuntimeException()" instead of "throw new RuntimeException()". If the error path is not unit tested then the production system will throw a Method Missing exception and hide the root cause. This rule finds constructs like "throw RuntimeException()" that look like a new keyword was meant to be used but forgotten.
