Note: this post needs to be investigate further.

You can find all my latest posts on medium.So far we have looked at how to capture an error and handle/resolve it if possible.
However you can write code that raisez an error within your own code. This opens up the possibility of then writing a corresponding error handling for it later down the road once you have figured out how to handle it. Or alternatively refactor the code so that error doesn’t need to be raised in the first place (if possible).
class CustomException < StandardError # custom_message = "heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!" def custom_message puts "something went very very wrong." end end class Duck def generic_method puts "method has started" begin puts "hello" randomNonsense puts "world" rescue puts "Ruby failed to understand what randomNonsense is. Some code is placed here to resolve this" raise CustomException, "something went wrong" end puts "method has completed" end end donald = Duck.new donald.generic_method
This outputs:
PS C:\Temp\irb> ruby .\raise-exceptions.rb method has started hello Ruby failed to understand what randomNonsense is. Some code is placed here to resolve this ./raise-exceptions.rb:21:in `rescue in generic_method': something went wrong (CustomException) from ./raise-exceptions.rb:15:in `generic_method' from ./raise-exceptions.rb:29:in `'
Note, you actually attach an if-statement at the end of the raise command like this:
raise CustomException, "something went wrong" if a_method_that_returns_true_or_false?
