Rob Spoor created IO-729: ---------------------------- Summary: BrokenReader, BrokenWriter, BrokenInputStream, BrokenOutputStream can cause IllegalArgumentException in combination with try-with-resources Key: IO-729 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-729 Project: Commons IO Issue Type: Bug Components: Streams/Writers Affects Versions: 2.8.0 Reporter: Rob Spoor
The following little code snippet can cause an IllegalArgumentException with message "Self-suppression not permitted": {code} try (Writer writer = new BrokenWriter()) { writer.write('a'); }{code} The try-with-resources mechanism will try to add the exception thrown from {{close}} as suppress exception to the exception thrown from {{write}}. Since those are the same, an exception is thrown. From the source of java.lang.Throwable: {code} public final synchronized void addSuppressed(Throwable exception) { if (exception == this) throw new IllegalArgumentException(SELF_SUPPRESSION_MESSAGE, exception);{code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
