ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25 revision 30365) [x86_64-darwin10.6.0]


I see this issue in 1.9.2-p0 through the current version 1.9.2-p136 on Mac OS X. The following code prints 'else executed'. Whereas in Ruby 1.8.x it would not execute the else statement if you called return from within a begin block.

In summary, I would expect the following code to not print anything, but in Ruby 1.9.2 it actually prints 'else executed':

# This code prints 'else executed'
def test_return_in_method
  begin
    return
  rescue
    puts 'rescue executed'
  else
    puts 'else executed'
  end
end
test_return_in_method
