Scala: Silently catch all exceptions

Question

Empty catch block seems to be invalid in Scala

try {
  func()
} catch {

} // error: illegal start of simple expression

How I can catch all

Answer 1

Inside of Scala's catch block you need to use similar construct as in a match statement:

try {
  func()
} catch {
  case _: Throwable => // Catching all exceptions and not doing anything with them
}
