All, I recently started using the Exception Notifiable plugin to generate nicely formatted error emails when major errors occur. However, now I seem to find that when I have errors in development, I no longer see the “dump” screen that I’m used to seeing. Which would be fine if the email would be sent per the setup in environment.rb. Has anyone successfully implemented ExceptionNotifiable such that errors will be reported in development still? I can attempt to call a method on a nil object in my app. now, and not see any error notification in development. Thanks, Wes ---

I believe I see my issue here. The POST request I’m making is via AJAX, so the error is being logged in the development.log file, however, because the exception page is being sent back on the _AJAX_ response, I think it’s effectively being discarded. Which begs the question - how can I reliably get the HTML output for an error when submitting on a form\_remote\_tag form? That may be for another thread. Wes ---

I have Firebug. If I do a method call on nil in my action, then I see “tab has no properties” and several lines that say “anonymous” and I’m guessing that this is the response. This certainly tells me that _something_ is probably wrong (although if I didn’t know already, it would take me some time to figure out). I certainly don’t have access to anything in Firebug that looks like the stack trace that’s printed in my log file. Should I be able to see a stack trace in Firebug? Wes ---

Do you know how to uninstall a plugin in Firefox? I want to try and reinstall Firebug. Wes ---

It works fine for me out of the box. -=-
