ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PG::NotNullViolation: ERROR: ....) Can not rescue?

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PG::NotNullViolation: ERROR: null value in column "xxxx" violates not-null constraint DETAIL: .....)

I have code to rescue exception, but it does not work!

def create
 begin
  @model =Model.create!(params)
  #if params do not contain the not null column
  render json: @model, status: 201
 rescue
  render status: 403
 end
end

The server has a response with 200 OK....Neither 201 nor 403....

My question :

If I have a not null column in database and have not set 'not null' in ActiveRecord, How can I catch this ERROR.

You should use validations in this case or at least rescue a more specific exception class.

However this is not the right mailing list for these kind of issues. Please ask on a rails list.

Check if the rescued error is_a? PG::NotNullViolation or rescue that type specifically.
