constant for ActionController::RoutingError class?

rubyonrails-talk

I'm writing a default application-wide rescue_action_in_public.

I'd like to do something special when the exception raised was a routing error. Inspecting in debugger, I get:

(rdb:1) p exception.class ActionController::RoutingError

Yet:

(rdb:1) p exception.kind_of?( ActionController::RoutingError ) NameError Exception: uninitialized constant ActionWebService::Dispatcher::ActionController::RoutingError

Huh? It's an ActionController::RoutingError, yet I have no such thing as an ActionController::RoutingError loaded in my runtime?

How the heck do I test an exception to see if it's the kind of exception that reports itself as ActionController::RoutingError?

Thanks for any advice.

Found an answer although I still don't really understand it.

What it's saying is that for some reason when it tries to lookup
ActionController::RoutingError it looks in the wrong space (in
ActionWebService). You can force it to look at the top level with by prepending :: (ie
write ::ActionController::RoutingError instead of
ActionController::RoutingError)
