Rails sentry configuration

[madisvain]

After doing everything that the getsentry website tells me

1. gem install sentry-raven
2. Add a config/initializers/raven.rb

I still get

rake raven:test
Your client is not configured!

If I run with the DSN provided then everything works

rake raven:test[DSN]

I'm using Rails 3.2.13

Is the documentation correct?

@madisvain it's possible we have in issue in the rake command that its not actually configuring against the rails environment.

[madisvain]

@dcramer it seems to be magically working in production environment which is a good thing. My ruby skills are horrible compared to python so sorry if there is something I'm just missing here.

[dcramer]

As are mine :)

Will defer this ticket to someone else who can help us investigate it better

I think this is because rake raven:test does not load the current rails environment, which means your initializers won't be run and your DSN remains unset.

@madisvain, can you confirm that, as a workaround, if you set your SENTRY_DSN environment variable to your DSN, will the rake test work?

[deefour]

@nateberkopec yes, when set directly on the SENTRY_DSN environment variable, the DSN is picked up.

Running :envionment task before :test task solved it for me. I must add a check for Rails in order to work on non-rails environments and I guess it's fixed.

Nice fix. I think #121 closes this.
