Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher - Catch application errors and emit them somewhere
version 0.0.8.8
use Catalyst qw/-Debug StackTrace ErrorCatcher/;
This plugin allows you to do More Stuff with the information that would normally only be seen on the Catalyst Error Screen courtesy of the Catalyst::Plugin::StackTrace plugin.
The plugin is configured in a similar manner to other Catalyst plugins:
<Plugin::ErrorCatcher>
enable 1
context 5
always_log 0
include_session 0
user_identified_by username
emit_module A::Module
</Plugin::ErrorCatcher>
Setting this to true forces the module to work its voodoo.
It's also enabled if the value is unset and you're running Catalyst in debug-mode.
When there is stack-trace information to share, how many lines of context to show around the line that caused the error.
This specifies which module to use for custom output behaviour.
You can chain multiple modules by specifying a line in the config for each module you'd like used:
emit_module A::Module
emit_module Another::Module
emit_module Yet::Another::Module
If none are specified, or all that are specified fail, the default behaviour
is to log the prepared message at the INFO level via $c->log().
For details on how to implement a custom emitter see "CUSTOM EMIT CLASSES" in this documentation.
The default plugin behaviour when using one or more emitter modules is to suppress the info log message if one or more of them succeeded.
If you wish to log the information, via $c->log() then set this value
to 1.
The default behaviour is to suppress potentially sensitive and revealing session-data in the error report.
If you feel that this information is useful in your investigations set the value to true.
When set to 1 the report will include a Data::Dump::pp() representation of
the request's session.
If there's a logged-in user use the specified value as the method to identify the user.
If the specified value is invalid the module defaults to using id.
If unspecified the value defaults to id.
It is possible to run your application in non-Debug mode, and still have errors reported with a stack-trace.
Include the StackTrace and ErrorCatcher plugins in MyApp.pm:
use Catalyst qw<
ErrorCatcher
StackTrace
>;
Set up your myapp.conf to include the following:
<stacktrace>
enable 1
</stacktrace>
<Plugin::ErrorCatcher>
enable 1
# include other options here
<Plugin::ErrorCatcher>
Any exceptions should now show your user the "Please come back later" screen whilst still capturing and emitting a report with stack-trace.
This module uses MIME::Lite to send the prepared output to a specified email address.
See Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher::Email for usage and configuration details.
A custom emit class takes the following format:
package A::Module;
# vim: ts=8 sts=4 et sw=4 sr sta
use strict;
use warnings;
sub emit {
my ($class, $c, $output) = @_;
$c->log->info(
'IGNORING OUTPUT FROM Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher'
);
return;
}
1;
__END__
The only requirement is that you have a sub called emit.
Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher passes the following parameters in the call
to emit():
The package name
A Context ("Context" in Catalyst::Manual::Intro) object
The processed output from Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher
If you want to use the original error message you should use:
my @error = @{ $c->error };
You may use and abuse any Catalyst methods, or other Perl modules as you see fit.
The test-suite coverage is quite low.
