Interception (intercept + exception) allows you to intercept all exceptions as they are raised. Installation ============ As with all rubygems, use gem to install: ```shell gem install interception ``` Or, if you're using bundler: ```ruby source :rubygems gem 'interception' ``` Usage ===== Add and remove listeners. They'll be called whenever an exception is raised (whether or not it would later be rescued) with both the exception object, and the binding from which it was raised. The binding can be used to discover further information about the context. ```ruby require 'interception' listener = lambda{ |exception, binding| puts "raised: #{exception.inspect}" } Interception.listen(listener) begin raise "oopsy" rescue => exception puts "rescued: #{exception.inspect}" end raise "daisy" Interception.unlisten(listener) ``` In the common case that you want to listen to events for the duration of a block, you can also pass that block to listen: ```ruby require 'interception' def log_exceptions(&block) Interception.listen(block) do |exception, binding| puts "raised: #{exception.inspect} from #{binding.eval("__method__")}" end end def hello raise "oopsy" rescue => exception puts "rescued: #{exception.inspect} in #{__method__}" raise "daisy" end log_exceptions do hello end ``` Your listen block is run as through it were called by `Kernel#raise`, so try not to raise an exception from within it, or you will loose the original exception. Known bugs ========== * On rubinius we don't catch some low-level exceptions (like `ZeroDivisionError`). * On jruby 1.6, the binding has the wrong value for `self` in `NoMethodError`s. ([fixed](https://github.com/jruby/jruby/commit/4246d96f63155aeb70694a9a0ace0eeb2c936065) in jruby-head) * On MRI-1.8.7, the binding sometimes has the wrong value for `self`. Meta-fu ======= Interception is released under the MIT license (see `LICENSE.MIT` for details). Contributions and bug reports are welcome.
