Overview

Looks for error classes inheriting from Exception. It is configurable to suggest using either StandardError (default) or RuntimeError instead.

Examples:

EnforcedStyle: standard_error (default)

# bad

class C < Exception; end

C = Class.new(Exception)

# good

class C < StandardError; end

C = Class.new(StandardError)

EnforcedStyle: runtime_error

# bad

class C < Exception; end

C = Class.new(Exception)

# good

class C < RuntimeError; end

C = Class.new(RuntimeError)

Cop Safety Information:

  • This cop’s autocorrection is unsafe because rescue that omit exception class handle StandardError and its subclasses, but not Exception and its subclasses.
