Catch throw?

Ruby
1

Hello,

I just started using catch and throw. Therefore this question might be
an
easy one.

I have multiple ruby files. In one of the files I like to throw and then
in
the main function in a different file I like to catch the throw. Is
this
possible or do throw/catch need to be in the same file?

Example:
fileOne.rb

def somefunct
…
throw :quit_script
…
end

fileTwo.rb
catch :quit_script
…
end

Thx,
Bernd

They have to be in the same call chain.

so if fileTwo require’s fileOne.rb and fileTwo’s code looks like
catch :quit_script do
…
somefunct()
…
end

it will work
