Scala: Silently catch all exceptions

Question

Empty catch block seems to be invalid in Scala

try {
  func()
} catch {

} // error: illegal start of simple expression

How I can catch all

Answer 1

Try adding

case x =>

in your catch block :)

Answer 2

In

import scala.util.Try

val res = Try (func()) toOption 

if the Try is successful you will get a Some(value), if it fails a None.
