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

I like one of the suggestions here to use Try() with toOption, but in case you don't want to go further with Option, you can just do:

Try(func()) match {
  case Success(answer) => continue(answer)
  case Failure(e) => //do nothing
}
