Class RightCurlyCheck

All Implemented Interfaces:
Configurable, Contextualizable

public class RightCurlyCheck extends AbstractCheck

Checks the placement of right curly braces (''}) for code blocks. This check supports if-else, try-catch-finally blocks, while-loops, for-loops, method definitions, class definitions, constructor definitions, instance, static initialization blocks, annotation definitions and enum definitions. For right curly brace of expression blocks of arrays, lambdas and class instances please follow issue #5945. For right curly brace of enum constant please follow issue #7519.

  • Property option - Specify the policy on placement of a right curly brace ('}'). Type is com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.blocks.RightCurlyOption. Default value is same.
  • Property tokens - tokens to check Type is java.lang.String[]. Validation type is tokenSet. Default value is: LITERAL_TRY, LITERAL_CATCH, LITERAL_FINALLY, LITERAL_IF, LITERAL_ELSE.

To configure the check:

 <module name="RightCurly"/>
 

Example:

 public class Test {

   public void test() {

     if (foo) {
       bar();
     }           // violation, right curly must be in the same line as the 'else' keyword
     else {
       bar();
     }

     if (foo) {
       bar();
     } else {     // OK
       bar();
     }

     if (foo) { bar(); } int i = 0; // violation
                   // ^^^ statement is not allowed on same line after curly right brace

     if (foo) { bar(); }            // OK
     int i = 0;

     try {
       bar();
     }           // violation, rightCurly must be in the same line as 'catch' keyword
     catch (Exception e) {
       bar();
     }

     try {
       bar();
     } catch (Exception e) { // OK
       bar();
     }

   }                         // OK

   public void testSingleLine() { bar(); } // OK, because singleline is allowed
 }
 

To configure the check with policy alone for else and METHOD_DEF tokens:

 <module name="RightCurly">
   <property name="option" value="alone"/>
   <property name="tokens" value="LITERAL_ELSE, METHOD_DEF"/>
 </module>
 

Example:

 public class Test {

   public void test() {

     if (foo) {
       bar();
     } else { bar(); }   // violation, right curly must be alone on line

     if (foo) {
       bar();
     } else {
       bar();
     }                   // OK

     try {
       bar();
     } catch (Exception e) { // OK because config is set to token METHOD_DEF and LITERAL_ELSE
       bar();
     }

   }                         // OK

   public void violate() { bar; } // violation, singleline is not allowed here

   public void ok() {
     bar();
   }                              // OK
 }
 

To configure the check with policy alone_or_singleline for if and METHOD_DEF tokens:

 <module name="RightCurly">
  <property name="option" value="alone_or_singleline"/>
  <property name="tokens" value="LITERAL_IF, METHOD_DEF"/>
 </module>
 

Example:

 public class Test {

   public void test() {

     if (foo) {
       bar();
     } else {        // violation, right curly must be alone on line
       bar();
     }

     if (foo) {
       bar();
     }               // OK
     else {
       bar();
     }

     try {
       bar();
     } catch (Exception e) {        // OK because config did not set token LITERAL_TRY
       bar();
     }

   }                                // OK

   public void violate() { bar(); } // OK , because singleline
 }

    • skipDoubleBraceInstInit

      private static boolean skipDoubleBraceInstInit(RightCurlyCheck.Details details)
      This method determines if the double brace initialization should be skipped over by the check. Double brace initializations are treated differently. The corresponding inner rcurly is treated as if it was alone on line even when it may be followed by another rcurly and a semi, raising no violations. Please do note though that the line should not contain anything other than the following right curly and the semi following it or else violations will be raised. Only the kind of double brace initializations shown in the following example code will be skipped over:
           Map<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<>() {{
                 put("alpha", "man");
             }}; // no violation
       
      Parameters:
      details - RightCurlyCheck.Details object containing the details relevant to the rcurly
      Returns:
      if the double brace initialization rcurly should be skipped over by the check
