Access to

[Eric Hu]

I saw this in the docs:

>Currently, the main means of debugging authorization decisions is logging and exceptions. Denied access to actions is logged to warn or info, including some hints about what went wrong.

>All bang methods throw exceptions which may be used to retrieve more information about a denied access than a Boolean value.

Is there some simple way to get access Denied Access information in Rails/Ruby?  I'd like to pass some of this information to the client for development debugging.  I have quite a few ajax requests and seeing this info in the console would cut down on the number of different windows I'd have to check

Currently, the detailed information is not passed on from the access filter.
The permission_denied method does not receive the exception as a parameter.

However, if we kept permission_denied backwards compatible, we could pass on
the details as well (see in_controller.rb#130). Patches welcome.
