ActiveError

Easily create an exception with backtrace.

Usage

ActiveError.new(StandardError, "error message")
ActiveError.new(StandardError, "error message", backtrace: caller)

# default error class is StandardError
ActiveError.new("error message")
ActiveError.new("error message", backtrace: caller)

Why

Fix this common pattern:

exception = StandardError.new("error message")
exception.set_backtrace(caller)

Should be in one-step:

ActiveError.new(StandardError, "error message", backtrace: caller)

Enjoy 🎉
