no_empty_block

A no_empty_block rule which forbids having empty code blocks, including function/method bodies and conditionals, excluding catch blocks and to-do comments.

An empty code block often indicates missing code.

Example

BAD:

int fn() {} // LINT

Function getCallback() {
  return (){}; // LINT
}

void main() {
  if (true) {} // LINT
}

GOOD:

int fn() {
 // TODO: complete this
}

Function getCallback() {
  return () {
    // TODO: actually do something
  };
}

void main() {
  if (true) {
    print('');
  }

  try {
    fn();
  } catch (_) {} // ignored by this rule
}
