Why is the passed block being evaluated even when an exception is raised?
I have this function and the exception is being raised as expected. However, the block is still being evaluated even though the conditional returns false. What is happening here?
def authorize_role!(from, to, required_role, do: block) when required_role in @roles do
actual_role = role_for_schema!(from, to)
if role_index(actual_role) >= role_index(required_role) do
block
else
raise AuthorizationError
end
end

Yeah to expand on what @sodapopcan if you want to delay the execution of some code without a macro you’d use a function eg:
authorize_role!(from, to, required_role, fn ->
# stuff that requires the role
end)
If you want to use a do block style then yeah that has to be a macro because you’re essentially re-arranging the AST to wrap the code in the if.

Oh ya, that is even better IMO.
