global variable •$! •$ERROR_INFO note: set it to nil to
rescue exception
ensure begin # do something raise 'An error has occured.'
rescue => e puts 'I am rescued.' ensure puts 'This code always is executed.' end
retry tries = 0 begin tries += 1 puts "Trying
#{tries}..." raise "Didn't work" rescue retry if tries < 3 puts "I give up" end
else begin yield rescue puts "Only on error" else puts
"Only on success" ensure puts "Always executed" end
• Use exception when you need • Wrap exception when
re-raising • Avoid raising during ensure • Exception is your method interface too • Classify your exceptions • Readable exceptional code • Declare classes for app exception good points
Benchmarks
Circuit Breaker pattern
Anti-Patterns • Exceptions controlled flow • rescue nil
What to do with errors? • handle them • send
emails with them • send them to error report system • errbit • pappertrail • elk • … etc.
Alternatives • Callbacks on fails (JavaScript) • Promises (JavaScript) •
Returning codes (golang)
