[Rake-devel] [PATCH] safe_ln

[Assaph Mehr]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry, that doesn't work. NotImplementedError does not derive from
StandardError. You'll have to catch Excpetion:

irb(main):003:0> NotImplementedError.ancestors
=> [NotImplementedError, ScriptError, Exception, Object, Find,
FileTest, FileUtils, FileUtils::StreamUtils_, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel]

irb(main):004:0> StandardError.ancestors
=> [StandardError, Exception, Object, Find, FileTest, FileUtils,
FileUtils::StreamUtils_, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel]

Cheers,
Assaph
