ActiveSupport::Rescuable
Published over 3 years ago

In Rails 2.2, controller’s rescue_from has been extracted to ActiveSupport as ActiveSupport::Rescuable module. Relevant commits are 964dfc and 259a7a. This allows you to use rescue_from functionality in class as a cleaner way of handling exceptions.

Now you can just include ActiveSupport::Rescuable in your class and start using rescue_with_handler(exception) from your rescue blocks :

class Armageddon < StandardError
end

class Earth
  include ActiveSupport::Rescuable

  rescue_from Armageddon, :with => :nuke_the_rock

  def life
    raise Armageddon
  rescue Exception => e
    rescue_with_handler(e)
  end

  def nuke_the_rock
    puts "snafu"
  end
end

e = Earth.new
e.life

The above code will produce output “snafu”. You can also check code/docs if you wanna know more.
