Subject: Test the result of an initialization ?


Hi,

I'm a newbie in Ruby, so please don't blam me if my question is stupid.

Is there a simple way to know if there were an error in the initialize
method ?

Example :
I have a class "ArchiveFile".
Its initialize method have a 'path' parameter.

What I want is if the path is not a path to a file, the object is not
created. I try to do a "return nil" in initialize, but it has no effect.

Do I need to test the file outside of the initialization ?
