How to serialize Raven::Event?

[marclennox]

I'm trying to use a Sidekiq job to send the raven events, which means I need to serialize the Raven::Event and deserialize it before sending.

I see there's a "to_hash" method but no "from_hash".

I tried to use YAML::load and YAML::dump but it yacks on procs from the config.

Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

Ideally we'd improve the API so you'd just serialize a hash, and the core send() method just took a simple mapping. This is how the Python API works which makes it fairly flexible.

We could do like we do in Python and ensure compatibility by having send(event) => send_remote(hash) and then let you override send_remote or similar.

That said I'm not sure we really need to ensure backwards compat on send

Agreed if I could simply send the hash, this would be ideal. Is there a work-around with which I can achieve this now?

@marclennox Is there any way you could share a gist of the Sidekiq code you use to accomplish this? We need to improve our docs around pushing your Sentry event sending to a job processor + I want to improve our API around this.

For sure, here you go.

Note that I'm using ActiveJob with Sidekiq as the provider.
