Hoptoad

Send your application errors to our hosted service and reclaim your inbox.

  1. Installing the Heroku add-on

To use Hoptoad on Heroku, install the Hoptoad add-on:

$ heroku addons:add hoptoad:basic # This adds the the basic plan.
                                  # If you'd like another plan, specify that instead.
  1. Including the Hoptoad notifier in your application

After adding the Hoptoad add-on, you will need to install and configure the Hoptoad notifier.

Your application connects to Hoptoad with an API key. On Heroku, this is automatically provided to your application in ENV['HOPTOAD_API_KEY'], so installation should be a snap!

Rails 3.x

Add the hoptoad_notifier and heroku gems to your Gemfile. In Gemfile:

gem 'hoptoad_notifier'
gem 'heroku'

Then from your project's RAILS_ROOT, run:

$ bundle install
$ script/rails generate hoptoad --heroku

Rails 2.x

Install the heroku gem if you haven't already:

gem install heroku

Add the hoptoad_notifier gem to your app. In config/environment.rb:

config.gem 'hoptoad_notifier'

Then from your project's RAILS_ROOT, run:

$ rake gems:install
$ rake gems:unpack GEM=hoptoad_notifier
$ script/generate hoptoad --heroku

As always, if you choose not to vendor the hoptoad_notifier gem, make sure every server you deploy to has the gem installed or your application won't start.

Rack applications

In order to use hoptoad_notifier in a non-Rails rack app, just load the hoptoad_notifier, configure your API key, and use the HoptoadNotifier::Rack middleware:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rack'
require 'hoptoad_notifier'

HoptoadNotifier.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = `ENV['HOPTOAD_API_KEY']`
end

app = Rack::Builder.app do
  use HoptoadNotifier::Rack
  run lambda { |env| raise "Rack down" }
end

Rails 1.x

For Rails 1.x, visit the Hoptoad notifier's README on GitHub, and be sure to use ENV['HOPTOAD_API_KEY'] where your API key is required in configuration code.

  1. Configure your notification settings (important!)

Once you have included and configured the notifier in your application, you will want to configure your notification settings.

This is important - without setting your email address, you won't receive notification emails.

Hoptoad can deliver exception notifications to your email inbox. To configure these delivery settings:

  1. Visit your application's Hoptoad Add-on page, like http://api.heroku.com/myapps/my-great-app/addons/hoptoad:basic

  2. Click "Go to Hoptoad admin" to configure the Hoptoad Add-on on the Hoptoadapp.com website

  3. Click the "Profile" button in the header to edit your email address and notification settings.

  4. Optionally: Set up deploy notification

If your Hoptoad plan supports deploy notification, set it up for your Heroku application like this:

rake hoptoad:heroku:add_deploy_notification

This will install a Heroku HTTP Deploy Hook to notify Hoptoad of the deploy.
