PEBKAC

Raise exceptions with i18n messages

Usage

  1. Remember to setup your I18n load path!

  2. Require the gem:

    require 'pebkac'

  3. Create your error classes as usual:

    class MyError < StandardError; end

  4. Call Kernel#pebkac in place of Kernel#raise:

    pebkac MyError

    which is equivalent to

    raise MyError, I18n.t(:my_error, :scope => :pebkac)

  5. Or do something more fancy

    pebkac MyError, :the_msg_key, {:scope => :errors, :thing => 'Stuff'}, caller(3)

    which turns into something like

    raise MyError, I18n.t(:the_msg_key, :scope => :errors, :thing => 'Stuff'), caller(3)
