Agile Web Development

The SuperExceptionNotifier plugin provides a mailer object and a default set of templates for sending email notifications when errors occur in a Rails application, as well as a default set of error page templates to render based on the status code assigned to an error. The plugin is configurable, allowing programmers to specify (all on a per environment basis!):

• the sender address of the email
• the recipient addresses
• the text used to prefix the subject line
• the HTTP status codes to send emails for
• the error classes to send emails for
• whether to send error emails or just render without sending anything
• the HTTP status and status code that gets rendered with specific errors
• the view path to the error page templates
• custom errors, with custom error templates

The email includes information about the current request, session, and environment, and also gives a backtrace of the exception.

This plugin was based on v8821 of the wonderful exception_notification plugin:

SuperExceptionNotifier is in production use on four large websites that I know of totaling hundreds of thousands of users and hits. As errors happen on those sites it has performed flawlessly in rendering error pages, and sending error notification emails when asked. So I decided it had been through the fire and am offering it to the world under the MIT license.
