Module: Pry::UserError

Defined in:

lib/pry/exceptions.rb

Overview

An Exception Tag (cf. Exceptional Ruby) that instructs Pry to show the error in a more user-friendly manner. This should be used when the exception happens within Pry itself as a direct consequence of the user typing something wrong.

This allows us to distinguish between the user typing:

pry(main)> def ) SyntaxError: unexpected )

pry(main)> method_that_evals(“def )”) SyntaxError: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ from ./a.rb:2 in ‘eval’
