Rails Exception Notification without middleware -

i have rails 4 application entirely comprised of rails runners on cron generated whenever gem.

i'd notified if there exceptions occur during run. exception_notification gem runs rack middleware (web requests only), doesn't handle rails runners.

any ideas? i'm looking notified on email or on slack.

you can use exceptionnotifier.notify_exception in rescue block send notification.

for example:

def rescue_exception(data)   yield rescue => e   exceptionnotifier.notify_exception(e, data: data) end  every :hour   rescue_exception(runner: 'somemodel.some_method')     runner "somemodel.some_method"   end end 

please refer https://github.com/smartinez87/exception_notification#background-notifications. use data hash pass additional information context.
