Ruby Stuff: Use retry to restart a begin rescue block

DL — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 03:45:14 +0000

I recently needed to be able retry a begin block and was simply nesting begins within begins, then I ran across this little Ruby gym. The retry, http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby/ruby_exceptions.htm.

    begin
      @calendarapi.calendars
    rescue Exception => ex
      logger.info ex
      switch_ssl()
      retry
    end

Obviously this bit of code could end in a continuous loop so be careful to add a little logic to ensure a clean exit.
