Wrap nullable thrown expressions in requireNonNull
io.moderne.nullability.WrapNullableThrownExpressionInRequireNonNullArtifactio.moderne.recipe:rewrite-nullabilityWraps a provably-nullable throw operand in java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(...) (statically imported), turning throw ex; into throw requireNonNull(ex);. A throw of a null Throwable itself throws NullPointerException (the JVM dereferences the operand to raise it), so inside an annotated scope NullAway flags a nullable thrown value as an error; requireNonNull throws exactly where the bare throw already would, so runtime behavior is unchanged. The operand's nullness is resolved by attribution from the nullability model and a path-sensitive flow analysis (a value already null-checked on the path is not flagged). The fix never asserts non-null on a value that is genuinely nullable at the site. Idempotent and conservative; only Java sources are modified.

This recipe has no required configuration options. You’ll need the Moderne CLI configured before running the command below.
mod run . --recipe io.moderne.nullability.WrapNullableThrownExpressionInRequireNonNullIf the recipe isn’t available locally, install it with:
mod config recipes jar install io.moderne.recipe:rewrite-nullability:RELEASEOptions
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
annotatedPackages | String | Comma-separated package prefixes to limit the fix to (matching NullAway's AnnotatedPackages option). When unset, the recipe fixes all packages.e.g. com.example |
assertionStyle | AssertionStyle | The non-null assertion form to emit at a wrap site. AUTO (the default) inspects the classpath: Guava present (com.google.common) emits Preconditions.checkNotNull, otherwise Objects.requireNonNull. CAST_TO_NON_NULL is explicit-only (it is suppression-like — no runtime throw) and never auto-selected. |

Structured output this recipe can produce.
- Null-safety fixes by rungEach residual null-safety fix applied, tagged with the precedence rung that produced it, so the share bottoming out at a last-resort `requireNonNull` assertion can be tracked.
io.moderne.nullability.table.NullFixes - Declined null-safety fixes needing reviewEach site the recipe declined to auto-fix because the fix is a design decision (the value is explicitly `null` on some path, so the slot likely should be `@Nullable`), for human triage.
