Four bare raise Exception(...) sites are named: b2sdk/sync/action.py (around line 244), b2sdk/v1/download_dest.py (get_bytes_written), and two in b2sdk/v1/sync/folder.py (the except branches for NotADirectory and UnableToCreateDirectory). Read the existing exception classes in the package first, since the issue asks for a more specific built-in or custom exception but does not choose one. Done means each site raises a specific type, the existing tests in the sync and download suites still pass, and callers that catch the old generic exception are checked.

Description

OpenRefactory introduces fixers, that automatically fix safety, security, reliability and compliance issues. We ran OpenRefactory's Intelligent Code Repair (iCR) analysis engine on your code. We are reporting a few sample fixes that were generated.

Throwing overly broad exceptions promotes complex error handling code that is more likely to contain security vulnerabilities. It will become challenging to catch only specific types of exceptions. The best practice is to catch only exceptions which require specific handling.

Raising Exception in a function will lead to having an except Exception and the only way to differentiate between different exceptions is by comparing the exception messages. Moreover, one could forget to re-raise some exceptions which are unintentionally caught.

OpenRefactory’s Intelligent Code Repair (iCR) for Python, identified four such cases. The diffs are the following:
