My application (Ruby 1.9.2) may raise different exceptions, including net-connection breaks. I rescue Exception => e
, then do case/when
to handl
Well it depends upon whether you referencing the class or the constant. I have for instance had to use the following case statement to get a certain type of detection working
def fail(exception_error)
exception = exception_error
case exception.class
when /HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError.new/
status = 'CONNECTION TIMEOUT'
connection_status = 'DOWN'
else
status = 'UNKNOWN FAILURE'
connection_status = 'DOWN'
end
But that's because I'm working with the actual Exception Class not the constant. HTTPCLient is raising an actual class object:
class TimeoutError < RuntimeError
end
class ConnectTimeoutError < TimeoutError
end
Here's a puzzling fact:
error = HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError.new
HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError === error
#=> true
error === HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError
#=> false
Not sure what to make of that.
