I'm running the airbrake-3.0.2 gem with Rails 3.2.5 and Ruby 1.8.7.

Aibrake seems to be collecting errors in my production environment, but I can't get it to do so in my staging or dev environments. (I want the latter so that I can be confident Airbrake is catching errors properly.)

The rake airbrake:test task works properly in all environments. config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local is set to false in all environments. I have reviewed the troubleshooting guide and tried the suggestions there, to no avail.

Errors in the dev environment produce a stack trace like this one:

HTTP_X: 
CAUGHT A 500 ERROR AND RENDERING A 500

RuntimeError (Michael is awesome.):

Airbrake seems to be consulted, but no notification is produced. Any idea what's going on here?

   Hi,

   Please try adding

   config.development_environments = []
   

   To your config block in config/initializers/airbrake.rb
   That should enable logging for all environments.
   Also We released airbrake gem version 3.1.4 which has more features and bug fixes.
   That makes it a good time to run bundle update airbrake
   Please let me know how it goes!

   From,
   Morgan

   Oops, 3.1.4 does not support your version of rails. Please disregard the upgrading message. :)

   Hi, Morgan. This didn't seem to make a difference.

   Here's my config/initializers/airbrake.rb:

   Airbrake.configure do |config|
     config.api_key = [MY KEY]
     config.development_environments = []
   end
   

   Here's the trace:

   HTTP_X: 
   CAUGHT A 500 ERROR AND RENDERING A 500

   It also appears that not all 500s are being captured by airbrake even in production, though as you can see by looking at my account, some are. I'd appreciate any guidance you might have.

   Hey, Morgan, just wondering of you have any further guidance for me here. I'd love to get Airbrake up and running.

   Hi again!

   Not all 500 errors will show up. ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound is ignored by default.
   you can see what errors are ignored by default by booting up the rails console for your environment and running Airbrake.configuration.ignore you can also chose to report on every error if you set the following in your config/initializers/airbrake.rb

   config.ignore_only = []
   

   You can customize the airbrake.rb in other ways as well.

   By default these are ignored:

   AbstractController::ActionNotFound
   ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
   ActionController::RoutingError
   ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken
   ActionController::UnknownAction
   CGI::Session::CookieStore::TamperedWithCookie
   

   Please let me know if this does not clear things up. Happy to dive deeper into this if needed.

   From,
   Morgan

   Morgan, as you can see from the trace above, the intentional error I'm using for testing is a simple RuntimeError. This is caused by raise "some string" in the application controller.

   I have also tested with other error types, being careful o avoid those in the ignored list.

    Hi Michael,

    I found the last piece of this puzzle, to report upon 500 errors in the environments other than production you have to adjust 2 things:

    1 add the following line in config/initializers/airbrake.rb

    config.development_environments = [] 
    // Reports on all environments
    

    2 In config/environments/development.rb change config.consider_all_requests_local from true to false

    config.consider_all_requests_local = false 
    // Shows prod style  errors in prod
    

    I was able to replicate and solve the problem like this! Please confirm with me that it works for you as well!

    From,
    Morgan
