Hello!

I’m thinking of adding a “report a bug” feature to my rails app so  
that users can report blow-ups and help diagnose. Instead of having  
users type what they where doing, I would like this information  
automatically filled out by rails. It could be a list of the last N  
browser requests before the crash, which could be fed back to the app  
via WWW::Mechanize to easily reproduce the problem.

Can this be done in rails in an easy way? I’m still getting my feet  
wet, so apologies in advance if this is too absurd, trivial or just  
impossible.

Thank you!  
Dante

Not exactly what you’re looking for… Just let the  
exception\_notifier plugin do 90% of the work for you.

[http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/exception\_notifier](http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/exception_notifier)

I think there’s also exception\_notification and some other plugins  
that achieve something similar.
