<![CDATA[Throw exception when required file does not exist?]]>I wanted to do this:


begin
  require 'file'
rescue 
  # 
end

But it does work? Why not?

I know I can do it other ways, but I'm just curious if there's a reason for the behavior.

But I think I may just be being too lazy to check if the files exists...

What you want is:

begin require 'foods' rescue LoadError puts "not there" end
