Overview

ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter is a common interface for error reporting services.

To rescue and report any unhandled error, you can use the handle method:

Rails.error.handle do
  do_something!
end

If an error is raised, it will be reported and swallowed.

Alternatively if you want to report the error but not swallow it, you can use record

Rails.error.record do
  do_something!
end

Both methods can be restricted to only handle a specific exception class

maybe_tags = Rails.error.handle(Redis::BaseError) { redis.get("tags") }

You can also pass some extra context information that may be used by the error subscribers:

Rails.error.handle(context: { section: "admin" }) do
  # ...
end

Additionally a severity can be passed along to communicate how important the error report is. severity can be one of :error, :warning, or :info. Handled errors default to the :warning severity, and unhandled ones to :error.

Both handle and record pass through the return value from the block. In the case of handle rescuing an error, a fallback can be provided. The fallback must be a callable whose result will be returned when the block raises and is handled:

user = Rails.error.handle(fallback: -> { User.anonymous }) do
  User.find_by(params)
end

Instance Method Details

#handle(error_class = StandardError, severity: :warning, context: {}, fallback: nil) ⇒ Object

Report any unhandled exception, and swallow it.

Rails.error.handle do
  1 + '1'
end

  yield
rescue error_class => error
  report(error, handled: true, severity: severity, context: context)
  fallback.call if fallback
end

#record(error_class = StandardError, severity: :error, context: {}) ⇒ Object

def record(error_class = StandardError, severity: :error, context: {})
  yield
rescue error_class => error
  report(error, handled: false, severity: severity, context: context)
  raise
end

#report(error, handled:, severity: handled ? :warning : :error, context: {}) ⇒ Object

When the block based handle and record methods are not suitable, you can directly use report

Rails.error.report(error, handled: true)

  unless SEVERITIES.include?(severity)
    raise ArgumentError, "severity must be one of #{SEVERITIES.map(&:inspect).join(", ")}, got: #{severity.inspect}"
  end

  full_context = ActiveSupport::ExecutionContext.to_h.merge(context)
  @subscribers.each do |subscriber|
    subscriber.report(error, handled: handled, severity: severity, context: full_context)
  rescue => subscriber_error

      )
    else
      raise
    end
  end

  nil
end

#set_context ⇒ Object

Update the execution context that is accessible to error subscribers

Rails.error.set_context(section: "checkout", user_id: @user.id)
