rack_hoptoad

A gem that provides exception notifications to hoptoad as rack middleware.

Usage

Throw something like this in your config.ru to enable notifications.

require 'rack/hoptoad'

use Rack::Hoptoad, 'fd48c7d26f724503a0280f808f44b339fc65fab8'

You can also exclude certain sensitive environmental variables using the block syntax

require 'rack/hoptoad'

use Rack::Hoptoad, 'fd48c7d26f724503a0280f808f44b339fc65fab8' do |notifier|
  notifier.environment_filters << %w(MY_SECRET_KEY MY_SECRET_TOKEN)
end

If your RACK_ENV variable is set to production or staging it'll actually post to hoptoad. It won't process in the other environments.

Installation

% sudo gem install rack_hoptoad

Sinatra Notes

In order for exceptions to propagate up to Rack in Sinatra you need to enable raise_errors

class MyApp < Sinatra::Default
  enable :raise_errors
end

Note that the errors block does not execute so you'll need to handle the 500 elsewhere. Normally this is done with a 500.html in the document root.
