Overview

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)

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.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/error_reporter.rb', line 147

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)

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".

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/error_reporter.rb', line 74

def handle(*error_classes, severity: :warning, context: {}, fallback: nil, source: DEFAULT_SOURCE)
  error_classes = [StandardError] if error_classes.blank?
  yield
rescue *error_classes => error
  report(error, handled: true, severity: severity, context: context, source: source)
  fallback.call if fallback
end

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

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'
end

Can be restricted to handle only specific error classes:

tags = Rails.error.record(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 :error.

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

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

def record(*error_classes, severity: :error, context: {}, source: DEFAULT_SOURCE)
  error_classes = [StandardError] if error_classes.blank?
  yield
rescue *error_classes => error
  report(error, handled: false, severity: severity, context: context, source: source)
  raise
end

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

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)

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/error_reporter.rb', line 172

def report(error, handled: true, severity: handled ? :warning : :error, context: {}, source: DEFAULT_SOURCE)
  return if error.instance_variable_defined?(:@__rails_error_reported)

  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)
  disabled_subscribers = ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[self]
  @subscribers.each do |subscriber|
    unless disabled_subscribers&.any? { |s| s === subscriber }
      subscriber.report(error, handled: handled, severity: severity, context: full_context, source: source)
    end
  rescue => subscriber_error
    if logger
      logger.fatal(
        "Error subscriber raised an error: #{subscriber_error.message} (#{subscriber_error.class})\n" +
        subscriber_error.backtrace.join("\n")
      )
    else
      raise
    end
  end

  unless error.frozen?
    error.instance_variable_set(:@__rails_error_reported, true)
  end

  nil
end

#set_context

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)
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/error_reporter.rb', line 163

def set_context(...)
  ActiveSupport::ExecutionContext.set(...)
end

#subscribe(subscriber)

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.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/error_reporter.rb', line 123

def subscribe(subscriber)
  unless subscriber.respond_to?(:report)
    raise ArgumentError, "Error subscribers must respond to #report"
  end
  @subscribers << subscriber
end

#unsubscribe(subscriber)

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)
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/error_reporter.rb', line 138

def unsubscribe(subscriber)
  @subscribers.delete_if { |s| subscriber === s }
