Question

in the following code

begin
 raise StandardError, 'message'
 #some code that raises a lot of exception
rescue StandardError
 #handle error
rescue OtherError
 #handle error
rescue YetAnotherError
 #handle error
end

I want to print a warning stating the type and the message of the error without adding print statement to each of the rescue clauses, like

begin
 raise StandardError, 'message'
 #some code that raises a lot of exception
rescue StandardError
 #handle error
rescue OtherError
 #handle error
rescue YetAnotherError
 #handle error
???
 print "An error of type #{???} happened, message is #{???}"
end

Answer 1

begin
  raise ArgumentError, "I'm a description"
rescue => e
  puts "An error of type #{e.class} happened, message is #{e.message}"
end

Prints: An error of type ArgumentError happened, message is I’m a description
