Exceptioner

Stay notified about exceptions by various transports Email, Jabber, IRC, etc. Choose the option you want.

The most common use is to use Exceptioner as rack middleware and send notifications when an exception occur in you web application. It may be used with Rails, Sinatra or any other rack citizen. Exceptioner may be also used with any ruby code you want. Just configure delivery methods and don’t miss any exception.

Currently available delivery methods

  • Email - BETA

  • Jabber/XMPP - ALPHA

Usage

Note: Exceptioner is under heavy development and it is not recommended to use for production applications.

Rails 3 users

Add to your Gemfile

gem 'exceptioner'

and obviously run bundle install

Then copy config file to your application

rails generate exceptioner:install.

You probably want to check config/initializers/exceptioner.rb and customize it a bit

Rails 2.X users

Any Rack application users

gem install exceptioner

Then require exceptioner and add Exceptioner::Middleware to your stack

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
