Subject: [ruby-talk:12043] using rescue/ensure in methods


Hello,

I found a strange behaviour. This works:

class Test
	def test
		puts "Tested"
		myError = 4 / 0
	rescue
		puts "Captured"
	ensure
		puts "Ensured"
	end
end
x = Test.new
x.test

But the following code

class Test
	def Test.test
		puts "Tested"
		myError = 4 / 0
	rescue
		puts "Captured"
	ensure
		puts "Ensured"
	end
end
Test.test

does not compile:

exceptiontest.rb:5: parse error
exceptiontest.rb:7: parse error

(ruby 1.6.2 (2000-12-18) [i386-cygwin])


Why does rescue/ensure in the body of the method
does not work for class methods? Bug, feature or my fault?
