This rule reports functions which should never throw an exception. If a function exists that does throw an exception it will be reported. By default, this rule checks toString, hashCode, equals and finalize. This rule is configurable via the methodNames configuration to change the list of functions which should not throw any exceptions.

Noncompliant Code

class Foo {

    override fun toString(): String {
