I have some code that I was duplicating across applications so I made it an engine. The engine works fine but the only problem is when I raise an error in the before_destroy method in my model (the model is not in the engine). Based on the example code below; if I have this code in a controller that is not in a engine I will get the following error: "Fee type is in use" Which is exactly what I want. However, if I have that exact same code in my engine I get the full path to the file that raised the error plus the error message "Fee type is in use". "/Users/weshays/temp/myapp/config/../app/models/fee_type.rb:6:in `before_destroy'': Fee type is in use" I cannot figure out how to only get the error message without the other stuff (path and method) as this could be a possible security risk. I have tried the different options for the raise method but with no luck. I am using Ruby 1.8.5 and Rails version 1.2.3. The following sample code is what''s in question. ---------------------------------- *** Model *** ... has_many :ga_locations def before_destroy raise ''Fee type is in use'' if self.ga_locations.count > 0 end ... *** Controller *** ... begin item.destroy rescue Exception => err flash[:error] = err.message end ... ---------------------------------- Any help on this would be appreciated. -Wes -- James "Wes" Hays Great Basin Development P.O.Box 3503, Reno, Nevada 89505 http://www.gbdev.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
