Hi everyone,

So, I’ve got exception\_notification working now, but not in  
development mode on localhost. In my ApplicationController, I’ve  
added:

local\_addresses.clear

Shouldn’t that be enough?

Thank you!

Sean

Another update–I really can’t get it to send exceptions at all, and  
I’m not sure why. For instance, I’m forcing a LDAP::ResultError  
exception, but no mail is sent. I’ve even cleared out the addresses  
array in local\_addresses.

What I’d like to do is to use exception\_notification within a rescue  
clause. For instance:

begin

# some stuff ehre

rescue Exception =\> ex

# Send an email

# Other operations to handle the rescue.

end

Am I barking up the wrong tree with this plugin?

Thanks!

To send exception emails in dev mode, you need to be sure and change  
the following line in config/environments/development.rb:

config.action\_controller.consider\_all\_requests\_local = true

Set that value to false. Otherwise, regardless of how you set  
local\_addresses, all requests are considered local.

Hope that helps,

Jamis

It certainly does! Thank you!

Now, when I hit other types of exceptions (in one case, an LDAP  
exception), I get this error:

NameError

uninitialized constant ExceptionNotifiable

This error occured while loading the following files:

Thoughts on that one? Does this handle non-Rails exceptions? I have  
“include ExceptionNotifiable” in my application.rb.

Thanks!
