This rule raises an issue when a bare ``++raise++`` statements is in a ``++finally++`` block.
== Why is this an issue?
A bare ``++raise++`` statement, i.e. a ``++raise++`` with no exception provided, will re-raise the last active exception in the current scope. If no exception is active a ``++RuntimeError++`` is raised instead.
If the bare "raise" statement is in a ``++finally++`` block, it will only have an active exception to re-raise when an exception from the ``++try++`` block is not caught or when an exception is raised by an ``++except++`` or ``++else++`` block. Thus bare ``++raise++`` statements should not be relied upon in ``++finally++`` blocks. It is simpler to let the exception raise automatically.
=== Code examples
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
def foo(param):
result = 0
try:
print("foo")
except ValueError as e:
pass
else:
if param:
raise ValueError()
finally:
if param:
raise # Noncompliant: This will fail in some context.
else:
result = 1
return result

==== Compliant solution

----
def foo(param):
result = 0
try:
print("foo")
except ValueError as e:
pass
else:
if param:
raise ValueError()
finally:
if not param:
result = 1
return result

This rule is similar to RSPEC-1163 but the problem is a little different. It is perfectly ok to raise an exception in a ``++finally++`` block in python. Python will automatically link the new exception to any exception raised in the ``++try++`` block. However a bare ``++raise++`` is problematic as it can fail.
