Trapping specific errors

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a begin rescue clause and want to trap for specific errors

begin
cause error
rescue Excpetion => err
case err
when SocketError
do stuff
when … # trap for ErrNo::EINVAL
end
end

Say I get the error ErrNo::EINVAL … how/where can I find out what the
Excpetion for it is named?

I have tries ErrNo::EINVAL, ErrNo::EINVALError, EINVALError, but none of
these seem to trap the exception …

Any help please

Thanks
Joerg

I found the answer in my PickAxe.

Errors like Errno:: are SystemCallErrors that the operating throws, and
they are contained in a module called Errno … <- note the small ‘n’.

So to trap an invalid argument error for example, use Errno::EINVAL

No need to append it with ‘Error’ either.

Sorry for noise.
