How about an "after" hook that will be called after "fail_and_return!"? about light-service HOT 2 OPEN

I've just looked up the documentation to remind me how this works.
The after_action hook was created for instrumentation purposes only. We "lifted" this idea from AOP.

You would have to catch the exception in your action, set that exception in the context, and use the after_action hook to "monitor" and "report" the error from the context. The nice thing about this is that you could make the exception handling short in your code, and you could put the logging into the after_action, decoupling how the "reporter" works apart from your business logic.

Hth.

I see. But what if an action didn't fail because of an exception? What if an author has decided to fail early just because some business logic condition hasn't been fulfilled? Looks like I would have to just call next by myself, right?

executed do
  if business_logic_rule_violated?
    ctx[:error] = { message: '...', data: '...' }
    ctx.fail!
    next
  end
end
