How can I handle errors in Rails with Pundit?

You can handle errors in Rails with Pundit by using rescue_from in your ApplicationController to catch Pundit::NotAuthorizedError.

Can you show me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! In your ApplicationController, add this line: rescue_from Pundit::NotAuthorizedError, with: :user_not_authorized and define the method user_not_authorized to handle the error.

What should the user_not_authorized method look like?

The method could redirect to the root path with a flash message: def user_not_authorized; redirect_to root_path, alert: "You are not authorized to perform this action."; end.

Is there a way to customize the error message further?

Yes, you can customize the message based on the action or resource by passing additional parameters to the flash message.
