Gracefully fail when RedisStore breaks

[jclusso]

We recently had an issue with our Redis database. Since we have this enabled for admins, our admin users were having issues while the rest of our application continued to work. Is there a way to rack mini profiler gracefully disable itself or something if there is an issue connecting to the RedisStore?

Can you provide a stacktrace and explain what exactly isn't working? There is error handling when the storage mechanism fails:

rack-mini-profiler/lib/mini_profiler/profiler.rb

Line 461 in edbcad3

rescue Exception => e

so it would be nice to know what is happening, and what you're expecting to happen. Thanks!

Unfortunatly it's been too long since it happened so I wouldn't have anything at this point. If something comes up in the future I'll reopen.

I just ran into this same issue, when the profiler breaks the error is as follows:

Connection refused - connect(2) for 127.0.0.1:6379 (redis://localhost:6379/0) (Redis::CannotConnectError)
