Is there any way to start the Ruby debugger on exception?

Question

Is there any way to start the/a Ruby debugger whenever the code throws an exception, without me wrapping the code like this:

begin
  #do something
rescue
  d         


        

Answer 1

if you're using ruby-debug (and it looks like you are), you can set catchPoints for the exception you want.

 (rdbg) catch Exception

for example
