Like backtrace
, but returns each line of the execution stack as a Thread::Backtrace::Location
. Accepts the same arguments as backtrace
.
f = Fiber.new { Fiber.yield } f.resume loc = f.backtrace_locations.first loc.label #=> "yield" loc.path #=> "test.rb" loc.lineno #=> 1
Sets the Fiber
scheduler for the current thread. If the scheduler is set, non-blocking fibers (created by Fiber.new
with blocking: false
, or by Fiber.schedule
) call that scheduler’s hook methods on potentially blocking operations, and the current thread will call scheduler’s close
method on finalization (allowing the scheduler to properly manage all non-finished fibers).
scheduler
can be an object of any class corresponding to Fiber::Scheduler
. Its implementation is up to the user.
See also the “Non-blocking fibers” section in class docs.
Returns the Fiber
scheduler, that was last set for the current thread with Fiber.set_scheduler
if and only if the current fiber is non-blocking.
Returns default external encoding.
The default external encoding is used by default for strings created from the following locations:
CSV
File
data read from disk
SDBM
While strings created from these locations will have this encoding, the encoding may not be valid. Be sure to check String#valid_encoding?
.
File
data written to disk will be transcoded to the default external encoding when written, if default_internal
is not nil.
The default external encoding is initialized by the -E option. If -E isn’t set, it is initialized to UTF-8 on Windows and the locale on other operating systems.
Sets default external encoding. You should not set Encoding::default_external
in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the value was changed., instead you should use ruby -E
to invoke ruby with the correct default_external.
See Encoding::default_external
for information on how the default external encoding is used.
Returns default internal encoding. Strings will be transcoded to the default internal encoding in the following places if the default internal encoding is not nil:
CSV
File
data read from disk
Strings returned from Readline
Strings returned from SDBM
Values from ENV
Values in ARGV including $PROGRAM_NAME
Additionally String#encode
and String#encode!
use the default internal encoding if no encoding is given.
The script encoding (__ENCODING__), not default_internal
, is used as the encoding of created strings.
Encoding::default_internal
is initialized with -E option or nil otherwise.
Sets default internal encoding or removes default internal encoding when passed nil. You should not set Encoding::default_internal
in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the change. Instead you should use ruby -E
to invoke ruby with the correct default_internal.
See Encoding::default_internal
for information on how the default internal encoding is used.
Returns the locale charmap name. It returns nil if no appropriate information.
Debian GNU/Linux LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "ANSI_X3.4-1968" LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "EUC-JP" SunOS 5 LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "646" LANG=ja Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "eucJP"
The result is highly platform dependent. So Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap)
may cause an error. If you need some encoding object even for unknown locale, Encoding.find
(“locale”) can be used.
Returns the message string with enhancements:
Includes the exception class name in the first line.
If the value of keyword highlight
is true
, includes bolding and underlining ANSI codes (see below) to enhance the appearance of the message.
Examples:
begin 1 / 0 rescue => x p x.message p x.detailed_message # Class name added. p x.detailed_message(highlight: true) # Class name, bolding, and underlining added. end
Output:
"divided by 0" "divided by 0 (ZeroDivisionError)" "\e[1mdivided by 0 (\e[1;4mZeroDivisionError\e[m\e[1m)\e[m"
This method is overridden by some gems in the Ruby
standard library to add information:
An overriding method must be tolerant of passed keyword arguments, which may include (but may not be limited to):
:highlight
.
:did_you_mean
.
:error_highlight
.
:syntax_suggest
.
An overriding method should also be careful with ANSI code enhancements; see Messages.
Returns an enhanced message string:
Includes the exception class name.
If the value of keyword highlight
is true (not nil
or false
), includes bolding ANSI codes (see below) to enhance the appearance of the message.
Includes the backtrace:
If the value of keyword order
is :top
(the default), lists the error message and the innermost backtrace entry first.
If the value of keyword order
is :bottom
, lists the error message the the innermost entry last.
Example:
def baz begin 1 / 0 rescue => x pp x.message pp x.full_message(highlight: false).split("\n") pp x.full_message.split("\n") end end def bar; baz; end def foo; bar; end foo
Output:
"divided by 0" ["t.rb:3:in 'Integer#/': divided by 0 (ZeroDivisionError)", "\tfrom t.rb:3:in 'Object#baz'", "\tfrom t.rb:10:in 'Object#bar'", "\tfrom t.rb:11:in 'Object#foo'", "\tfrom t.rb:12:in '<main>'"] ["t.rb:3:in 'Integer#/': \e[1mdivided by 0 (\e[1;4mZeroDivisionError\e[m\e[1m)\e[m", "\tfrom t.rb:3:in 'Object#baz'", "\tfrom t.rb:10:in 'Object#bar'", "\tfrom t.rb:11:in 'Object#foo'", "\tfrom t.rb:12:in '<main>'"]
An overriding method should be careful with ANSI code enhancements; see backtrace.
Returns the backtrace (the list of code locations that led to the exception), as an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location
instances.
Example (assuming the code is stored in the file named t.rb
):
def division(numerator, denominator) numerator / denominator end begin division(1, 0) rescue => ex p ex.backtrace_locations # ["t.rb:2:in 'Integer#/'", "t.rb:2:in 'Object#division'", "t.rb:6:in '<main>'"] loc = ex.backtrace_locations.first p loc.class # Thread::Backtrace::Location p loc.path # "t.rb" p loc.lineno # 2 p loc.label # "Integer#/" end
The value returned by this method might be adjusted when raising (see Kernel#raise
), or during intermediate handling by set_backtrace
.
See also backtrace
that provide the same value as an array of strings. (Note though that two values might not be consistent with each other when backtraces are manually adjusted.)
See Backtraces.
Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError
exception was raised.
Internal use only.
Creates instance variables and corresponding methods that return the value of each instance variable. Equivalent to calling “attr
:name” on each name in turn. String
arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Creates an accessor method to allow assignment to the attribute symbol.id2name
. String
arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Checks for a constant with the given name in mod. If inherit
is set, the lookup will also search the ancestors (and Object
if mod is a Module
).
The value of the constant is returned if a definition is found, otherwise a NameError
is raised.
Math.const_get(:PI) #=> 3.14159265358979
This method will recursively look up constant names if a namespaced class name is provided. For example:
module Foo; class Bar; end end Object.const_get 'Foo::Bar'
The inherit
flag is respected on each lookup. For example:
module Foo class Bar VAL = 10 end class Baz < Bar; end end Object.const_get 'Foo::Baz::VAL' # => 10 Object.const_get 'Foo::Baz::VAL', false # => NameError
If the argument is not a valid constant name a NameError
will be raised with a warning “wrong constant name”.
Object.const_get 'foobar' #=> NameError: wrong constant name foobar
Create an HTTP header block as a string.
Includes the empty line that ends the header block.
content_type_string
If this form is used, this string is the Content-Type
headers_hash
A Hash
of header values. The following header keys are recognized:
The Content-Type header. Defaults to “text/html”
The charset of the body, appended to the Content-Type header.
A boolean value. If true, prepend protocol string and status code, and date; and sets default values for “server” and “connection” if not explicitly set.
The HTTP status code as a String
, returned as the Status header. The values are:
200 OK
206 Partial Content
300 Multiple Choices
301 Moved Permanently
302 Found
304 Not Modified
400 Bad Request
401 Authorization Required
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
405 Method

406 Not Acceptable
411 Length Required
412 Precondition Failed
500 Internal Server Error
501 Method

502 Bad Gateway
506 Variant Also Negotiates
The server software, returned as the Server header.
The connection type, returned as the Connection header (for instance, “close”.
The length of the content that will be sent, returned as the Content-Length header.
The language of the content, returned as the Content-Language header.
The time on which the current content expires, as a Time
object, returned as the Expires header.
A cookie or cookies, returned as one or more Set-Cookie headers. The value can be the literal string of the cookie; a CGI::Cookie
object; an Array
of literal cookie strings or Cookie
objects; or a hash all of whose values are literal cookie strings or Cookie
objects.
These cookies are in addition to the cookies held in the @output_cookies field.
Other headers can also be set; they are appended as key: value.
Examples:
http_header # Content-Type: text/html http_header("text/plain") # Content-Type: text/plain http_header("nph" => true, "status" => "OK", # == "200 OK" # "status" => "200 GOOD", "server" => ENV['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "connection" => "close", "type" => "text/html", "charset" => "iso-2022-jp", # Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp "length" => 103, "language" => "ja", "expires" => Time.now + 30, "cookie" => [cookie1, cookie2], "my_header1" => "my_value", "my_header2" => "my_value")
This method does not perform charset conversion.
