 Project Readme

Show exception ids on error pages and headers, so users or support can track them down faster

Example

Install

gem 'sentry-user_informer'

Usage

# Gemfile
gem 'sentry-user_informer'

# config/initializers/sentry.rb
Sentry.configure do |config|
  ... regular config ...
end

# optional: customize placeholder (make sure it matches public/500.html)
# Sentry::UserInformer.placeholder = '<!-- SENTRY-USER-INFORMER -->'

# optional: customize template
# Sentry::UserInformer.template = # replaces `placeholder` on 500 pages
#   "<br/><br/>Error number: <a href='https://sentry.io/organizations/foo/issues/?query=%{event_id}'>%{event_id}</a>"

# public/500.html
<!-- SENTRY-USER-INFORMER -->

Details

  • adds a new middleware to render placeholder
  • modifies Sentry::Rails::Middleware to store the exceptions it sends to sentry

middleware basically ends up like this:

use Sentry::UserInformer::ExceptionRenderer # replace placeholder
use ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions          # render 500.html
use Sentry::Rails::CaptureExceptions        # store exception

Development

  • run tests: bundle && rake default integration (github actions cannot run integration tests)
  • example app: cd example && bundle && rails s then go to localhost:3000 or localhost:3000/error
