Hi,

I am not sure why, but I get the following error when I try to catch a  
specific exception:

uninitialized constant One::ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound

Here is some example code that I will use for simplification.

Why can’t I specify the RecordNotFound in the rescue?

I am calling the check\_object method from the ApplicationController on a  
before filter.

So Confused!!!

---------- CODE ----------

module One  
module Two

def check\_object

```
id = 12345

begin
  object = ObjectName.find(id)
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound => e
  logger.debug("#{e} : #{id}")
end

# more code would go here.

```

end

end  
end

ActionController::Base.send :include, One::Two
