Exhaustive switch case with returns can mark a finally block as unreachable

🔎 Search Terms

finally switch exhaustive unreachable

🕗 Version & Regression Information

This is the behavior in every version I tried ( doesn't typecheck pre 3.7 ), and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about unreachable code

💻 Code

const c = (v: 1 | 2) => {
  try {
    switch (v) {
      case 1: return v
      case 2: return v
    }
  } finally {
    if (true) {
      console.log('exit')
    }
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

The contents of the finally blocked are marked as unreachable

🙂 Expected behavior

That they are reachable

Additional information about the issue

While the example seems to include some confusing additions the replication apparently requires:

• The cases to be exhaustive
• No default case
• For the switch expression be typed as a literal union of some form
• An if statement to be in the finally block

I assume this is a chaotic mix of unreachable patterns upsetting flow analysis. I've also noticed that it you add an unreachable return statement after the switch then the contents of finally become reachable.

Beginne mit der verknüpften TypeScript Playground-Reproduktion und vergleiche den exhaustiven switch über eine literal union innerhalb von try/finally mit den aufgeführten Varianten: einem default case oder einem unerreichbaren return nach dem switch. Verfolge die Flow-Analyse, die das if statement in finally als unerreichbar markiert, füge anschließend Abdeckung hinzu, die zeigt, dass der Inhalt von finally erreichbar ist, und überprüfe die erwarteten diagnostics.
