Airbrake Middleware && env['rack.errors'] && -d

[Exiquio Cooper-Anderson]

I have a little bit of middleware code to notify Airbrake loosely based off the following Gists:

https://gist.github.com/thibaudgg/1037932 &&

https://gist.github.com/seamusabshere/1299631

Like the above examples, my implementation relies on the value of env['rack.errors'] to trigger most notifications. This chunk of code works perfect running Goliath in a non-daemonized fashion, but the notification code never seems to be called when -d is passed in an argument. A co-conspirator noted the following after a complaint or two from me:

https://github.com/postrank-labs/goliath/blob/master/lib/goliath/runner.rb#L214

This matches what I'm looking at from my logs via Syslog (thanks for delivering the new gem):

"rack.errors"=>#<IO:/Users/exiquio/code/rackspace/mediator/goliath.log_stdout.log>

I writing y'all to see if I'm missing an obvious way to get around this. Thanks in advance.

Turns out you don't want to set Airbrake to async. I aslo had some confusion about errors vs exceptions when dealing with rack.

RESOLVED.
