ActiveRecord doesn't know anything about db constraint errors. If
one
is violated, the error propagates up in the form of an exception.
I realize that, but the exception is of the
ActiveRecord:StatementInvalid class, which I should be able to catch
in
the controller with a rescue clause. But, I am not getting this to
work
at the moment. I thought that this should at least produce some out
put
but it never does:
def create
@entity = Entity.new(params[:entity])
...
respond_to do |format|
...
end
end
rescue => my_exception
puts "Rescue clause invoked!"
puts my_exception
end
For now, all I want is to see the rescue clause invoked, but it is
not.
have I put this clause in the wrong place? Am I specifying it wrong?
Just a stab in the dark, but I haven't seen any mention of calling
save vs. save!. save just puts any errors in the model, save! will
raise the exception if there are any errors. That may not be the case
for ActiveRecord:StatementInvalid exception, but I thought i'd mention
it anyway.
