TG2 WebError Traceback per Mail while still handling the exception

[Moritz Schlarb]

Hello again! ;)

Is there a way to catch an Exception and make WebError send the stacktrace per email (if not in debug mode) and still handle the exception to fail gracefully, by just displaying a flash('An error occured, administrator is alarmed', 'error') to the user?

In the meantime, I just do a

except:

    log.warn('Error in function', exc_info=True)

which at least shows the traceback in the log, but I would rather get a mail ;)

Thanks,

Moritz

If you set "email_to" in your deployment.ini file, this should work.

But only if the exception is not caught or caught and reraised, which would result in an Error 500 to the user.
My goal would be to send an email and redirect the user to a meaningful error page, or to where he came from, etc.

Cheers,

The error controller is there for that, you can freely customize the
error page with anything you need.
