When developing an application, it’s easy to just think about the happy path. The happy path is the flow through the application when everything works as expected.
The user enters the correct data, the request satisfies the business logic and any interaction with third party services or infrastructure happens without a hitch.
In reality, there are many more paths than the happy path.
Exceptions are a way of dealing with exceptional circumstances that will occur and they are a very important tool for controlling the execution flow of your application.
In today’s tutorial we will be looking at using Exceptions in our Ruby applications.

What is an Exception

An Exception is used to halt the execution of the application under a particular set of circumstances.
The Exception can then be “rescued” and either dealt with, or allowed to bubble up to the surface.
When an Exception is rescued, the problem can sometimes be resolved.
However, the majority of the time you would want to rescue the exception and provide a good error message to the user.
Exceptions can also be used stop execution if you think the user has malicious intent.

Using Exceptions in Ruby

An Exception is basically just a special type of Ruby object that when created will terminate the current application.
All Exceptions inherit from the standard Exception Ruby object.
To create new Exception you use the raise method:

def oh_noes
  raise "oh noes, something went wrong!!1"
end

oh_noes

The raise method accepts a message that can be used to help figure out what went wrong.
The code above would result in the following error:



exceptions.rb:2:in `oh_noes’: oh noes, something went wrong!!1 (RuntimeError) from exceptions.rb:5:in `



So as you can see, Ruby tells us:
  • The line in which the Exception was thrown exceptions.rb:2
  • The method name oh_noes
  • The error message something went wrong!!1
  • The type of Exception (RuntimeError)
  • And where the method was triggered from exceptions.rb:5

The different types of Exceptions

An important aspect of using Exceptions is using the correct Exception under the specific circumstances.
As you saw above, by default when you call the raise method, an instance of RuntimeError will be thrown.
However, Ruby has a number of other default Exceptions that should be used under the appropriate circumstances. You can see a list of these exceptions in the Exception documentation.
If you want to raise a specific type of error, you can pass it as the first argument to the raise method:

def oh_noes
  raise ArgumentError, "oh noes, something went wrong!!1"
end

This will raise an Exception of type ArgumentError which might be more appropriate if a method was accepting a specific type of argument in order to function correctly.


Rescuing an Exception

When an Exception is raised, you will often want to rescue the situation and take a different course of action or provide a more informative error for the user.
In order to do this, you can “rescue” the Exception:


def oh_noes
  puts "Before the Exception"
begin
  puts "Just before the Exception"
raise ArgumentError, "oh noes, something went wrong!!1"
  puts "Just after the Exception"
rescue
  puts "Rescuing the Exception"
end
  puts "After the Exception"
end

oh_noes

To rescue from an Exception you can wrap the Exception in an begin rescue end block.
The begin section is the processing that might trigger the Exception, and the rescue section is what you want to happen if something triggers the Exception.


Defining your own Exceptions

Ruby provides a number of standard Exceptions that allow you to signify the different exceptional circumstances an application can find itself in.
However, using Exceptions is much more powerful than just dealing with common application problems.
Exceptions allow you to expressively deal with “exceptional” circumstances, no matter what those circumstances are.
By defining your own Exceptions, you can write code that is very explicit when something goes wrong.
To define your own Exception, you can simply create a new class that inherits from one of the standard Ruby Exception classes:


class UserDoesNotHavePermission < StandardError 

end

In this example we have created a new UserDoesNotHavePermission Exception that should be used when the user is attempting to perform an action they do not have permission for. As you can see, the cause of the Exception is immediately obvious.
Now when writing you code, you can throw this specific Exception under that specific circumstance.
This is beneficial for two reasons.
Firstly, if another developer is consuming you code and they receive an instance of the this Exception, it is immediately obvious what went wrong.
Secondly, when testing your code, you can very easily assert that the code failed for the correct reason by ensuring that the correct Exception is raised, and not just a StandardError which could of be raised for any number of reasons.

A couple of weeks ago we looked at using Modules (Creating and using Modules in Ruby). Modules are also a really good way of grouping Exceptions:



module UserPermissions
  class PermissionError < RuntimeError 

  end 
  class UserDoesNotHavePermission < PermissionError 
  end 
  class UserDoesNotBelongToAccount < PermissionError 
  end 
  class UserIsNotAnAdmin < PermissionError 
 end 
end

In this example we’ve defined a new UserPermissions module that has 4 Exceptions.
To handle a specific exception, you can rescue that particular Exception:


UserPermissions::UserIsNotAnAdmin
However, you can also rescue any of the Exceptions from this module by using the generic PermissionError Exception:


UserPermissions::PermissionError

Conclusion

Exceptions are a beautiful way of dealing with problems within your code. There will be inevitably any number of different paths and situations your code can find itself in, and so using Exceptions is an expressive and explicit way to deal with these different circumstances.
Exceptions make your code easier to understand and deal with problems. When another developer is using your code, you can make it really easy for them to know what went wrong by providing granular Exceptions that can be dealt with in different ways.
It’s also much easier to test code and assert that the code failed for the correct reason. When you create explicit Exceptions you can assert that what you think happened really did happen, rather than simply listening out for generic Exceptions.
