An HTTP request. This is consumed by service and do_* methods in WEBrick

Server error exception
AbstractSyntaxTree
provides methods to parse Ruby code into abstract syntax trees. The nodes in the tree are instances of RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree::Node
.
This class is MRI specific as it exposes implementation details of the MRI abstract syntax tree.
This class is experimental and its API is not stable, therefore it might change without notice. As examples, the order of children nodes is not guaranteed, the number of children nodes might change, there is no way to access children nodes by name, etc.
If you are looking for a stable API or an API working under multiple Ruby implementations, consider using the parser gem or Ripper
. If you would like to make RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree
stable, please join the discussion at bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14844.
This module is used to manager HTTP status codes.
See www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html for more information.
A String
object holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing characters. String
objects may be created using String::new
or as literals.
Because of aliasing issues, users of strings should be aware of the methods that modify the contents of a String
object. Typically, methods with names ending in “!” modify their receiver, while those without a “!” return a new String
. However, there are exceptions, such as String#[]=
.
Raised by exit
to initiate the termination of the script.
Raised when encountering an object that is not of the expected type.
[1, 2, 3].first("two")
raises the exception:
TypeError: no implicit conversion of String into Integer
Raised when the arguments are wrong and there isn’t a more specific Exception
class.
Ex: passing the wrong number of arguments
[1, 2, 3].first(4, 5)
raises the exception:
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1)
Ex: passing an argument that is not acceptable:
[1, 2, 3].first(-4)
raises the exception:
ArgumentError: negative array size
Raised when the given index is invalid.
a = [:foo, :bar] a.fetch(0) #=> :foo a[4] #=> nil a.fetch(4) #=> IndexError: index 4 outside of array bounds: -2...2
Raised when the specified key is not found. It is a subclass of IndexError
.
h = {"foo" => :bar} h.fetch("foo") #=> :bar h.fetch("baz") #=> KeyError: key not found: "baz"
Raised when a given numerical value is out of range.
[1, 2, 3].drop(1 << 100)
raises the exception:
RangeError: bignum too big to convert into `long'
ScriptError
is the superclass for errors raised when a script can not be executed because of a LoadError
, NotImplementedError
or a SyntaxError
. Note these type of ScriptErrors
are not StandardError
and will not be rescued unless it is specified explicitly (or its ancestor Exception
).
Raised when encountering Ruby code with an invalid syntax.
eval("1+1=2")
raises the exception:
SyntaxError: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting $end
Raised when a file required (a Ruby script, extension library, …) fails to load.
require 'this/file/does/not/exist'
raises the exception:
LoadError: no such file to load -- this/file/does/not/exist
Raised when a feature is not implemented on the current platform. For example, methods depending on the fsync
or fork
system calls may raise this exception if the underlying operating system or Ruby runtime does not support them.
Note that if fork
raises a NotImplementedError
, then respond_to?(:fork)
returns false
.
Raised when a given name is invalid or undefined.
puts foo
raises the exception:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object
Since constant names must start with a capital:
Integer.const_set :answer, 42
raises the exception:
NameError: wrong constant name answer
Raised when a method is called on a receiver which doesn’t have it defined and also fails to respond with method_missing
.
"hello".to_ary
raises the exception:
NoMethodError: undefined method `to_ary' for "hello":String
