Reraising Exceptions in Ruby

February 14th, 2008

Don’t do this: 
1
2
3

    rescue Exception => e
      # other stuff
      raise "#{e.class}: #{e.message}"
Do this: 
1

3

    rescue Exception => e
      # other stuff
      raise

raise without any arguments will reraise the current exception, complete with class, message, and stack trace.
