How to declare that an exception is thrown

[soutaro]

We don't have a plan to support it for now. (Future version may have it, but not in Ruby 3.0.)

What should be the type of a return value of a method that can raise an exception?

For example:

def do_stuff
  raise unless all_ok?

  42
end

Option 1:

def do_stuff: -> Integer

Every time a value is returned it's actually an Integer but this seem to not account for times when the method doesn't return a value but raises an exception instead.

Option 2:

def do_stuff: -> Integer | nil

This seem incorrect because nil is never actually returned from the method.

Option 3:

def do_stuff: -> Integer | void

This seem a little closer to reality but I'm uncertain. void signals "no useful value" returned but an exception is not exactly a return value.
