Overview

Active Support Error Reporter

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 handle only a specific error class:

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

Instance Method Details

#disable(subscriber) ⇒ Object

Prevent a subscriber from being notified of errors for the duration of the block. You may pass in the subscriber itself, or its class.

This can be helpful for error reporting service integrations, when they wish to handle any errors higher in the stack.

def disable(subscriber)
  disabled_subscribers = (ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[self] ||= [])
  disabled_subscribers << subscriber
  begin
    yield
  ensure
    disabled_subscribers.delete(subscriber)
  end
end

#handle(*error_classes, severity: :warning, context: {}, fallback: nil, source: DEFAULT_SOURCE) ⇒ Object

Evaluates the given block, reporting and swallowing any unhandled error. If no error is raised, returns the return value of the block. Otherwise, returns the result of fallback.call, or nil if fallback is not specified.

# Will report a TypeError to all subscribers and return nil.
Rails.error.handle do
  1 + '1'
end

Can be restricted to handle only specific error classes:

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

Options

  • :severity - This value is passed along to subscribers to indicate how important the error report is. Can be :error, :warning, or :info. Defaults to :warning.

  • :context - Extra information that is passed along to subscribers. For example:

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

  • :fallback - A callable that provides handle‘s return value when an unhandled error is raised. For example:

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

  • :source - This value is passed along to subscribers to indicate the source of the error. Subscribers can use this value to ignore certain errors. Defaults to "application".

end

#record(*error_classes, severity: :error, context: {}, source: DEFAULT_SOURCE) ⇒ Object

Evaluates the given block, reporting and re-raising any unhandled error. If no error is raised, returns the return value of the block.

# Will report a TypeError to all subscribers and re-raise it.
Rails.error.record do
  1 + '1'

  # ...

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

Report an error directly to subscribers. You can use this method when the block-based #handle and #record methods are not suitable.

Rails.error.report(error)

end

#set_context ⇒ Object

Update the execution context that is accessible to error subscribers. Any context passed to #handle, #record, or #report will be merged with the context set here.

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

#subscribe(subscriber) ⇒ Object

Register a new error subscriber. The subscriber must respond to

report(Exception, handled: Boolean, severity: (:error OR :warning OR :info), context: Hash, source: String)

The report method should never raise an error.

    raise ArgumentError, "Error subscribers must respond to #report"
  end
  @subscribers << subscriber
end

#unexpected(error, severity: :warning, context: {}, source: DEFAULT_SOURCE) ⇒ Object

Either report the given error when in production, or raise it when in development or test.

When called in production, after the error is reported, this method will return nil and execution will continue.

When called in development, the original error is wrapped in a different error class to ensure it’s not being rescued higher in the stack and will be surfaced to the developer.

This method is intended for reporting violated assertions about preconditions, or similar cases that can and should be gracefully handled in production, but that aren’t supposed to happen.

The error can be either an exception instance or a String.

example:

  def edit
    if published?
      Rails.error.unexpected("[BUG] Attempting to edit a published article, that shouldn't be possible")
      return false
    end
    # ...
  end

  else
    report(error, handled: true, severity: severity, context: context, source: source)
  end
end

#unsubscribe(subscriber) ⇒ Object

Unregister an error subscriber. Accepts either a subscriber or a class.

subscriber = MyErrorSubscriber.new
Rails.error.subscribe(subscriber)

Rails.error.unsubscribe(subscriber)
# or
Rails.error.unsubscribe(MyErrorSubscriber)
