Support Error Reporting API in Rails::Command::RakeCommand’s rake.standard_exception_handling

In the Rails::Command::RakeCommand class, the call to rake.standard_exception_handling delegates exception handling during rake.top_level execution to Rake itself.

In our team, we run Rake tasks via Cron Jobs. In production, when unexpected exceptions occur inside a task, we need to send error reports to monitoring tools or output structured logs.

Since Rails wraps the Rake command, I think it might make sense to also proxy exception handling.

Here’s an example of what such an implementation could look like:

rake.standard_exception_handling do
  begin 
    rake.top_level 
  rescue Exception => ex
    ActiveSupport.error_reporter.report(ex, source: "rails.rake")
    raise ex 
  end
end

I would like to ask for opinions on:

  • Has this kind of issue been discussed before?

  • Would adding such a feature be acceptable?

If it seems acceptable, I’d be happy to open a PR.
