Is there a standard way in Rails of terminating a request early with throw or raise?
I am thinking of when a controller invokes a private method and inside that method I wish to render a result and then finish. For example: def my_action ... authorize_something ... end private def authorize_something ... if some_failure_condition flash[:error] = "I couldn't do that" redirect_to :controller=>:top, :action=>:index throw :request_complete # <<< WHAT GOES HERE? end end that is, without having to put an explicit catch or rescue in every action which calls authorize_something, and without having to check the return value from authorize_something everywhere that it is called. I have found 'rescue_from'; however this doesn't do what I need because my Cucumber tests still abort with the exception. That is, it seems that rescue_from is intended to handle pretty display of error pages when "real" exceptions occur, not as a mechanism by which a user exception can signal the early (but successful) termination of a request. Is there any other facility I should be looking at? Many thanks, Brian. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
