How do I send off errors that I personally caught? I was told the following would work in the latest rails (3.0.7 I believe) I'm using the hoptoad_notifier gem

class HomeController < ApplicationController
def index

begin
  raise 'test begin-rescue-end'
rescue
  hoptoad_notify $!
end

end end

   Yes, that's correct for controllers when hoptoad_notify method is available. You can read more in the notifier plugin README - https://github.com/thoughtbot/hoptoad_notifier/blob/master/README.md

   I tried that but it gave an error of undefined method. I'll recreate it in a few hours and post back.

   Hi Mohammad,

   The method is actually called notify_hoptoad. Can you give it a shot?

   And just as an aside, I think it's clearer to grab the exception object in the rescue call and send it over to Hoptoad, instead of using $!. So even though both should work, try this:

   begin
     raise 'test begin-rescue-end'
   rescue Exception => e
     notify_hoptoad e
   end
   

   Let us know how that goes.

   Thank you Harold, that's what was wrong! It's working fine now.
