Configuration

TODO

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

Exceptioner::ApplicationController will be included into ActionController::Base. Create config/initializers/exceptioner.rb

Exceptioner.setup do |config|
    config.transports = [:mail]
    config.mail.recipients %w[me@example.net]
    # Lookup documentation for more config options
end

Any Rack application users

gem install exceptioner

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

Any Ruby application users

gem install exceptioner

Then require excptioner and use it like:

begin
    # some code which may fail
rescue VeryFatalError => e
    Exceptioner.notify(e)
end

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.
