ActiveRecord rollback and return RecordInvalid message

I want to save multiple objects, and rollback all if any of them fail. But I also want to render the ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid message so the user knows why it didn't save. How do I do this?

def save_multiple_things_or_error
  ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
    thing_one.save!
    thing_two.save!
  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => exception
    # exception.message is what I want to render
    raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  end
end

This doesn't work for a few reasons. I believe the rescue should be in a begin end block, but then if I raise the rollback, I lose the RecordInvalid exception.

you could try this one:

begin
  ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
   thing_one.save!
   thing_two.save!
  end
rescue => e 
  raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
end

this works fine for my situation
