SymfonyExceptions2GitLabIssuesBundle

That's a very long name, but at least we know what it does.

Once installed, this bundle will open/update an issue on your GitLab repository when an exception is thrown:

• We build the issue title from the exception file, line and message
• If an issue exists with this title, we'll update it
• We put some relevant information in the issue body (request method (GET, POST, ...) & URI, logged in user, stacktrace)
• We add/update a comment: "Thrown 3 times, last one was 14/07/2016 09:37:47"

Installation

1. Add this bundle to your project:

   composer require chteuchteu/symfony-exceptions-2-gitlab-issues-bundle

2. Register this bundle in symfony's kernel:

   // app/AppKernel.php
   public function registerBundles()
   {
       $bundles = array(
           // ...
           new Chteuchteu\SymExc2GtlbIsuBndle\SymfonyExceptions2GitLabIssuesBundle(),
       );
   }

3. Generate a GitLab API token. Navigate to https://gitlab.com/profile (replace the URL with your instance's if necessary, but don't miss the /profile part), then "Personal Access Tokens".

   You can name it whatever you want, but "SymfonyExceptions2GitLabIssuesBundle" seems to be a great name.

   Note: you can share this token between several projects.

4. Configure this bundle inside your project:

   # config.yml
   sym_exc_2_gtlb_isu_bndle:
       gitlab_api_url: https://gitlab.com/api/v3/
       gitlab_token: (put your token here)
       project: your_project_name
       excluded_exceptions:
           - Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException

   Note: if you're using https://gitlab.com, you can actually skip the gitlab_api_url. If not, don't forget the /api/v3/ part.

5. Deploy your app in production, and trigger an exception. An issue should be waiting for you in your GitLab repository.

6. (optional) Customize the excluded_exceptions node to include/exclude exceptions from being handled by this bundle. By default (if the excluded_exceptions isn't specified), all exceptions are handled.

Configuration

Here are some more things you can configure. Just add these items to your config.yml, under the sym_exc_2_gtlb_isu_bndle node.

• reopen_closed_issues - boolean, default true:

  When set to true, any closed issue will be reopened when a matching exception is caught.

• excluded_environments - array, default ['dev', 'test']:

  When encountering an exception in one of these environments, we won't report anything to your GitLab repository.

  Tip: include back the dev environment (excluded_environments: []) to test this bundle without deploying to prod!

• excluded_exceptions - array, default []:

  Array of FQCN (fully qualified class name) of exceptions to ignore.

  Tip: add Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException to ignore 404 exceptions.

• mentions - array, default []:

  GitLab users to be mentioned in the issue body. Example: ['user1', 'user2', 'user3'] will append "Mentions: @user1 @user2 @user3" at the end of the message.

TODO

• Make more things configurable:
  • Issue body template
  • Comment datetime format?
• Handle pagination when finding issue
• Test mode
• Help diagnose problems (monolog logging)
