ErrorExtractor

ErrorExtractor is a simple utility to extract errors from exceptions objects. It handles the different common ways an exception message may be presented, so that you don't have to worry about how an exception object presents the information, you just hand it to ErrorExtractor and get back a string you can print to a log or the console, etc.

gem 'error_extractor', '~> 0.1.0'

$ gem install error_extractor

ErrorExtractor is meant to be used in rescue blocks:

begin

    raise "an Error!"

rescue => e 
    log "An error occurred during processing: #{extract_errors(e)}" 
    log "An error with a backtrace: #{extract_errors_with_backtrace(e)}"
end 

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
