Overview

Checks for a rescued exception that get shadowed by a less specific exception being rescued before a more specific exception is rescued.

An exception is considered shadowed if it is rescued after its ancestor is, or if it and its ancestor are both rescued in the same rescue statement. In both cases, the more specific rescue is unnecessary because it is covered by rescuing the less specific exception. (ie. rescue Exception, StandardError has the same behavior whether StandardError is included or not, because all StandardErrors are rescued by rescue Exception).

Examples:


# bad

begin
  something
rescue Exception
  handle_exception
rescue StandardError
  handle_standard_error
end

# bad
begin
  something
rescue Exception, StandardError
  handle_error
end

# good

begin
  something
rescue StandardError
  handle_standard_error
rescue Exception
  handle_exception
end

# good, however depending on runtime environment.
#
# This is a special case for system call errors.
# System dependent error code depends on runtime environment.
# For example, whether `Errno::EAGAIN` and `Errno::EWOULDBLOCK` are
# the same error code or different error code depends on environment.
# This good case is for `Errno::EAGAIN` and `Errno::EWOULDBLOCK` with
# the same error code.
begin
  something
rescue Errno::EAGAIN, Errno::EWOULDBLOCK
  handle_standard_error
end
