# File lib/syntax_suggest/api.rb, line 43
def self.handle_error(e, re_raise: true, io: $stderr)
  unless e.is_a?(SyntaxError)
    io.puts("SyntaxSuggest: Must pass a SyntaxError, got: #{e.class}")
    raise e
  end

  file = PathnameFromMessage.new(e.message, io: io).call.name
  raise e unless file

  io.sync = true

  call(
    io: io,
    source: file.read,
    filename: file
  )

  raise e if re_raise
end

Takes a SyntaxError exception, uses the error message to locate the file. Then the file will be analyzed to find the location of the syntax error and emit that location to stderr.

Example:

begin
  require 'bad_file'
rescue => e
  SyntaxSuggest.handle_error(e)
end

By default it will re-raise the exception unless ‘re_raise: false`. The message output location can be configured using the `io: $stderr` input.

If a valid filename cannot be determined, the original exception will be re-raised (even with ‘re_raise: false`).
