Cannot send exceptions to Raygun with Rails

Hi

Our rails app seems to have stopped sending exceptions to Raygun.

To isolate it I have made a new barebones rails application and connected it to a new Raygun application. If I go rake Raygun:test then I see the Woohoo! Your Raygun<->Ruby connection is set up correctly come through as expected.

But if I try and create an exception such as

class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    raise "Hi"
  end
end

or

class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    File.open("/etc/hosts") {|f| f << "example"}
  end
end

I just see it in the browser. If put in Raygun.track_exception(e)

class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    begin
    raise "Hi"
    rescue Exception => e
    Raygun.track_exception(e)
    end
  end
end

Then I do not see the exception in the browser or Raygun

I have tried with the raygun4ruby gem 1.1.3 and 1.0.0.

Can you point out where I am going wrong?

Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim,

Just confirming that the gem was indeed previously transmitting exceptions correctly? Your final example in WelcomeController looks correct once the indentation has been fixed (assume this is just a copy/paste bug). Have any other gems been installed recently that may be monkey patching framework objects?

For a diagnostic you could place something like

print "Loaded" if defined?(Raygun)

and see if it is available in your controller. You also shouldn't need to rescue the exception - merely raising one should enable it to be caught by Raygun if the gem is configured correctly.

I will have a deeper investigation into this early next week for you.

Hi Callum,

Thanks for the reply. Yes it was previously working, out last error came through 4 days ago (excluding the connection test ones). Sorry about my copy/paste error, I missed the code button the first time around. We don't think there have been any gems installed recently that would affect it. My test case gem file just has

gem 'rails', '3.1.12'

gem 'sqlite3'

gem 'jquery-rails'

gem 'raygun4ruby'

If I put the print in it shows Loaded as expected.

I have shared the app I used to test, without the api key at: https://bitbucket.org/n00begon/rayguntest/

Thanks for investigating,

Cheers, Tim

Hi Callum,

How is the investigation for this going?

Cheers,
Tim
