Exception notification plugin not working in production

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello all,

I am using Rails 2.0.2 and the plugin Exception notification. Contrary to all i haven't got any problem to get it work and send me errors notification in development, but i do in production. Of course i have disabled all the tricks to make it work in development before deploying. The mailer is well configured because i do receive email for other actions ... so i simply don't get it.

Do i need, after plugin installation to move the exception_notifier.rb file (mailer) to the lib or model directory, in production ? I don't think so because i don't do that in development and it works

Someone could help me plz ?

My guess is Rails sees the request as a local request. Does the user get a stack trace or the Rails error page?

For example, I haven’t found out yet (haven’t really looked for it too) why Apache with load balancing makes Rails think all requests from the local network (192.168.xx.xx) should be considered as a local request, requests from out of that network make Exception Notifier send the mails out. Very weird. IIRC, a setup with my patched Pound balancer (search google for my rimuhosting forum post on that matter) makes Rails behave normally, only real localhost requests are considered as such.

Best regards

I just put the following into config/initializers/notify_exceptions.rb:

ExceptionNotifier.exception_recipients = %w(mike@domain.com) ExceptionNotifier.email_prefix = "[MYDOMAIN] " ExceptionNotifier.sender_address = %("Application Error" <app.error@domain.com>)

and make sure you have the following in environments/production.rb

config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false

and in ApplicationController:

include ExceptionNotifiable # remove any consider_local lines

Does the ExceptionNotifier mail message show up in your logfile? Does your server mail.log file display any attempt to deliver the message?
