Raygun 4 Ruby

This is the Ruby adapter for the Raygun error reporter, http://raygun.io.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'raygun4ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install raygun4ruby

Usage

Rails 3/4

Run:

rails g raygun:install YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

You can find your API key on your Raygun Dashboard

You can then test your Raygun integration by running:

rake raygun:test

You should see an "ItWorksException" appear in your Raygun dashboard. You're ready to zap those errors!

NB: Raygun4Ruby currently requires Ruby >= 1.9

Note that the generator will create a file in config/initializers called "raygun.rb". If you need to do any further configuration or customization of Raygun, that's the place to do it!

Rails 2

Raygun4Ruby doesn't currently support Rails 2. If you'd like Rails 2 support, drop us a line.

Standalone / Manual Exception Tracking


require 'rubygems'
require 'raygun4ruby'

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "YOUR_RAYGUN_API_KEY"
end

begin
  # your lovely code here
rescue Exception => e
  Raygun.track_exception(e)
end

(You can also pass a Hash as the second parameter to track_exception. It should look like a Rack Env Hash)

Custom User Data

Custom data can be added to track_exception by passing a custom_data key in the second parameter hash.


begin
  # more lovely code
rescue Exception => e
  Raygun.track_exception(e, custom_data: {my: 'custom data', goes: 'here'})
end

Ignoring Some Errors

You can ignore certain types of Exception using the ignore option in the setup block, like so:

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "MY_SWEET_API_KEY"
  config.ignore  << ['MyApp::AnExceptionIDontCareAbout']
end

You can also check which exceptions are ignored by default

Affected User Tracking

Raygun can now track how many users have been affected by an error.

By default, Raygun looks for a method called current_user on your controller, and calls either email, username or id on the object returned by that method.

You can customize those method names in your configuration block:

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "MY_SWEET_API_KEY"
  config.affected_user_method = :my_current_user # `current_user` by default
  config.affected_user_identifier_methods << :login # `[ :email, :username, :id ]` by default - will use the first that works
end

If you're using Rails, most authentication systems will have this method set and you should be good to go.

The count of unique affected users will appear on the error group in the Raygun dashboard. If your user has an email method, and that email has a Gravatars associated, you will also see your user's avatar.

If you wish to keep it anonymous, you could set this identifier to something like SecureRandom.uuid and store that in a cookie, like so:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  def raygun_user
    cookies.permanent[:raygun_user_identifier] ||= SecureRandom.uuid
  end

end

(Remember to set affected_user_method to :raygun_user in your config block...)

Resque Error Tracking

Raygun4Ruby also includes a Resque failure backend. You should include it inside your Resque initializer (usually something like config/initializers/load_resque.rb)

require 'resque/failure/multiple'
require 'resque/failure/raygun'
require 'resque/failure/redis'

Resque::Failure::Multiple.classes = [Resque::Failure::Redis, Resque::Failure::Raygun]
Resque::Failure.backend = Resque::Failure::Multiple
