The Ruby Simple Exception Notification (a.k.a Rusen) gem provides a simple way for logging and sending errors in any ruby application.
The notification includes information about the current request, session, environment and also gives a backtrace of the exception.

Just add the following line in your Gemfile
gem 'rusen'
The easiest way to use it is with global configuration.
First you configure Rusen
require 'rusen'
Rusen.settings.outputs = [:io, :email]
Rusen.settings.sections = [:backtrace, :request, :session, :environment]
Rusen.settings.email_prefix = '[ERROR] '
Rusen.settings.sender_address = 'some_email@example.com'
Rusen.settings.exception_recipients = %w(dev_team@example.com test_team@example.com)
Rusen.settings.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'example.org',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'dev_team@moove-it.com',
:password => 'xxxxxxx',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
And the you can start sending notifications:
begin
method.call
rescue Exception => exception
Rusen.notify(exception)
end
This way, if you modify the notifications settings at runtime, every notification sent afterwards will use the new settings.
This method lets you have more control when notifying. You may want for example to send an email when a particular exception occurs and just print to stdout otherwise. To achieve this you can do the following:
@email_settings = Settings.new
@email_settings.outputs = settings[:email]
Rusen.settings.sections = [:backtrace, :request, :session]
@email_settings.email_prefix = '[ERROR] '
@email_settings.sender_address = 'some_email@example.com'
@email_settings.exception_recipients = %w(dev_team@example.com test_team@example.com)
@email_settings.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'example.org',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'dev_team@moove-it.com',
:password => 'xxxxxxx',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
@email_notifier = Notifier.new(@email_settings)
@stdout_settings = Settings.new
@stdout_settings.outputs = settings[:io]
Rusen.settings.sections = [:backtrace]
@stdout_notifier = Notifier.new(@stdout_settings)
and then:
begin
method.call
rescue SmallException => exception
@stdout_notifier.notify(exception)
rescue BigException => exception
@email_notifier.notify(exception)
end
Rusen comes with a rack and rails special (soon to come) middleware for easy usage.
To use Rusen in any rack application you just have to add the following code somewhere in your app (ex: config/initializers/rusen.rb):
require 'rusen/middleware/rusen_rack'
use Rusen::Middleware::RusenRack,
:outputs => [:io, :email],
:sections => [:backtrace, :request, :session, :environment],
:email_prefix => '[ERROR] ',
:sender_address => 'some_email@example.com',
:exception_recipients => %w(dev_team@example.com test_team@example.com),
:smtp_settings => {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'example.org',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'dev_team@moove-it.com',
:password => 'xxxxxxx',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
This will capture any unhandled exception, send an email and write a trace in stdout.
Currently supported outputs are :io, :lo4r, :pony and :mail. More outputs are easy to add so you can customize Rusen to your needs.
Note: :io will only print to stdout for the time being, but there are plans to extend it to anything that Ruby::IO supports.
Pony, lo4r and Mail outputs require additional gems to work.
To use pony add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'pony'
To use mail add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'mail'
To use log4r add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'log4r'
You can choose the output sections simply by setting the appropriate values in the configuration.
Here you can pass a block that will receive the error. If the block returns false, then the error will be notified.
All the email settings are self explanatory, but you can contact me if any of them needs clarification.
- logger_name (required): Logger used for logging errors.
- log4r_config_file (optional): YAML file that contains Log4r configuration. Rusen will load that file when given.
Sample of Log4r configuration file contents:
log4r_config:
loggers:
- name: error_notifications
level: ERROR
trace: false
outputters:
- logfile
- stdoout
outputters:
- type: FileOutputter
name: logfile
filename: 'log/service.log'
- type: StdoutOutputter
name: stdout
Rusen comes with sidekiq integration builtin to use just add this to your sidekiq initializer:
require 'rusen/sidekiq'
You can configure it with the global rusen configuration, ex:
require 'rusen/sidekiq'
Rusen.settings.sender_address = 'some_email@example.com'
Rusen.settings.exception_recipients = %w(dev_team@example.com test_team@example.com)
Rusen.settings.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'example.org',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'dev_team@moove-it.com',
:password => 'xxxxxxx',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Rusen supports versions ~> 2 and ~> 3 of sidekiq.
Soon to come!

- Fork it
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature
) - Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Added some feature'
) - Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature
) - Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Create new Pull Request
This library aims to adhere to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.
As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.
For example:
spec.add_dependency 'rusen', '~> 0.0.2'
