exception_mailer

Exception Mailer

Send an email in response to uncaught exceptions

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'exception_mailer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install exception_mailer

Usage

Uses http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.1/libdoc/net/smtp/rdoc/Net/SMTP.html

ExceptionMailer.mail_exceptions do
  # code that may raise an exception
end

include ExceptionMailer

mail_exceptions do
  # code that may raise an exception
end

Oops, don't forget config!

ExceptionMailer.configure do |c|
  c.server = 'your.smtp.server' # defaults to 'localhost'
  c.port = 25 # defaults to this value
  c.host = 'your.hostname'
  c.account = '[e-mail]'
  c.password = ENV['SMTP_PASSWORD'] # or load it from a file -- hardcoded passwords are bad, mmkay?
  c.auth_method = :plain # or :login or :cram_md5

  c.from = 'from' # defaults to 'ExceptionMailer'
  c.to = [ '[e-mail]', '[e-mail]' ] # or a single string
  c.subject = 'your subject line' # defaults to 'Exception Occurred'
end

All of the above options can be overridden for a specific block

mail_exceptions(to: '[e-mail]', subject: 'Hi Mom!') do
  # code that raises exceptions your mom wants to see
end

The message body will look kind of like this:

RuntimeError: hi
