SignalException diasallows fail methods on any class

[gowabash]

Signal Exception does not care the type of class that uses the method. This should only fire when using Exception.fail (or a subclass)

EX.

class Test
  def fail
    puts "reporting the failure somewhere"
  end
end

t = Test.new
t.fail

But SignalException doesn't report any offenses for you example! Can you change it to illustrate your point?

[gowabash]

Sorry. We have an additional rule

Style/SignalException:
  EnforcedStyle: only_raise

That appears to be the cause.

Yes, t.fail should not have been reported by Style/SignalException since there's an explicit receiver.
