Rescue_action_in_public never executes

Rails
#1

For the life of me, I cannot get the Exception Notification plugin to
send email when in development mode. From what I can tell,
ExceptionNotifiable.rescue_action_in_public never executes.
If you have any thoughts, I’d love to hear them.

NOTES

  • I’m running Rails 2.0.2
  • I’ve restarted Webrick several times
  • for testing purposes, I’m forcing rails to throw a NameError
    exception
  • I know ActionMailer has been setup properly as I can send mail
    through it.

[environment.rb]

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

…

config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false

…

end
ExceptionNotifier.exception_recipients = %w([email protected])
ExceptionNotifier.sender_address = %w([email protected])

[application.rb]

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
local_addresses.clear
end

#2

My original post was missing a line of code. include
ExceptionNotifiable is being used, and emails are still not being sent
out.

[environment.rb]

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

…

config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false

…

end
ExceptionNotifier.exception_recipients = %w([email protected])
ExceptionNotifier.sender_address = %w([email protected])

[application.rb]

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include ExceptionNotifiable
local_addresses.clear
end

#3

In case anyone reads this, the Rails project added the following line
to environments/development.rb:
config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = true

I had no idea it was even there. Commenting out

config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = true

and running

[environment.rb]

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

…

config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false

…

end
ExceptionNotifier.exception_recipients = %w([email protected])
ExceptionNotifier.sender_address = %w([email protected])

[application.rb]

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include ExceptionNotifiable
local_addresses.clear
end

WORKS!!
