Catch all exceptions in a rails controller

Question

Hi

Is there a way to catch all uncatched exceptions in a rails controller, like this:

def delete
  schedule_id = params[:scheduleId]
  begin
    Schedules.delete(schedule_id)
  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
    render :json => "record not found"
  rescue ActiveRecord::CatchAll
    #Only comes in here if nothing else catches the error
  end
  render :json => "ok"
end

Thank you

Answer 1

rescue with no arguments will rescue any error.

So, you'll want:

def delete
  schedule_id = params[:scheduleId]
  begin
    Schedules.delete(schedule_id)
  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
    render :json => "record not found"
  rescue
    #Only comes in here if nothing else catches the error
  end
  render :json => "ok"
end

begin
  # do something dodgy
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
  # handle not found error
rescue ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError
  # handle other ActiveRecord errors
rescue # StandardError
  # handle most other errors
rescue Exception
  # handle everything else
end
