Suppress Routing Errors for Missing Static Files

Rails
1

Hello,

I’d like to know how I can suppress errors in the logs for routing
errors for missing files.

For instance, something like this:

[ERROR] application#index (ActionController::RoutingError) “no route
found to match “/release/record_cover/192/small/646.jpg” with
{:method=>:get}”

This is because a file is missing that is referenced on the page. We
have other methods to catch this and it is just cluttering up the
Rails log (and sending a ton of exception emails!) so I’d like to
disable them.

These are being reported at log level ‘info’.

Thanks,
Hunter

What are these other methods?

You could have rescue_action_in_public(exception) check

  ActionController::UnknownController === exception ||

ActionController::UnknownAction === exception

and produce an error page, and have your own logging message (or none if
preferred).

I forgot – plus, set the last entry in config/routes.rb like this.

map.catchall ‘*all’, :controller => ‘some_controller’, :action =>
‘not_found’

with this not_found method in your “some_controller”

def not_found
log_info(“Page not found: #{request.env[‘REQUEST_URI’]}”)
@page_title = “Page not found”
render :action => ‘no_such_page’, :layout=>‘external’, :status =>
404
end

The not_found rhtml gives useful error information, as usual.

But you seem to have your own method, that’s why I asked.
