# Objective
After #17967, closures which always panic no longer satisfy various Bevy
traits. Principally, this affects observers, systems and commands.
While this may seem pointless (systems which always panic are kind of
useless), it is distinctly annoying when using the `todo!` macro, or
when writing tests that should panic.
Fixes#18778.
## Solution
- Add failing tests to demonstrate the problem
- Add the trick from
[`never_say_never`](https://docs.rs/never-say-never/latest/never_say_never/)
to name the `!` type on stable Rust
- Write looots of docs explaining what the heck is going on and why
we've done this terrible thing
## To do
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to avoid conflicting impls, and
I am out of time for today, the week and uh the week after that.
Vacation! If you feel like finishing this for me, please submit PRs to
my branch and I can review and press the button for it while I'm off.
Unless you're Cart, in which case you have write permissions to my
branch!
- [ ] fix for commands
- [ ] fix for systems
- [ ] fix for observers
- [ ] revert https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/2092/
## Testing
I've added a compile test for these failure cases and a few adjacent
non-failing cases (with explicit return types).
