This module makes the error handler in Lapis save the errors to database. Optionally you can make it email you the exceptions.
Are you updating from before 2.0?
You may need to run migrations. Add a new migration to your app and call
run_migrations
. It's safe to call it multiple times with no side effects so
you're free to add that migration every time you update.
[XXX] = require("lapis.exceptions.schema").run_migrations
$ luarocks install lapis-exceptions
Create a new migration that look like this. This will create the necessary tables for storing errors, and make any updates to the scchema if necessary. If you are updating the library, you may need to run migrations again. See the upgrade details in the release notes.
-- migrations.moon/lua
{
...
[1439944992]: require("lapis.exceptions.schema").run_migrations
}
Enable it in your top level app by calling @enable
. This will wrap your app's
handle_error
method with a new function that can record errors, and then call
the previous function.
class App extends lapis.Application
@enable "exception_tracking"
-- ...
Lastly, add to track_exceptions true
to each environment you want the
exception tracking to happen, along with any other optional configuration. This
will cause the error handler to stard recording errors into the database.
-- config.moon
config = require "lapis.config"
config "production", ->
track_exceptions true
-- app_name "My app" --> optional, gives title to emails
-- admin_email "[email protected]" --> optional, sends email to you
-- ...
Lapis doesn't have a standardized email sending interface yet, in order for
mail to work you need to provide your own send_mail
function.
The exception mailer will look for a module called helpers.email
and it
should contain a function called send_email
that takes as arguments the
recipient email address, the subject, and the body.
-- this should work to be able to send exception emails:
require("helpers.email").send_email "[email protected]", "Hello!", "This is an email"
You can find an example send_mail implementation in the MoonRocks repository.
An email will be sent to config.admin_email
every time a new exception type
is created, or every time an exception type is updated if it's been 10 minutes
since the last update.
Two functions are provided for running code with error capturing. Any errors
that happen will be captured and written to the exception request table. The
error will not propagate outside the call. It works similar to Lua's pcall
.
import protected_call from require "lapis.exceptions"
success, ret = protected_call ->
hello = 3 + "what"
If you're running in a Lapis request context, you can pass a request object as the first argument to record any information about that request:
lapis = require "lapis"
import protected_call from require "lapis.exceptions"
class App extends lapis.Application
"/": =>
success, ret = protected_call @, ->
error "something failed"
"ok"
There's no admin panel for viewing exceptions inside the web app yet. You'll have to manually run queries in the database or use the emails.
Two models are created to hold exception data: ExceptionTypes
and
ExceptionRequests
. ExceptionTypes
holds normalized exception messages.
ExceptionRequests
holds the original exception message along with data about
the request. It has a foreign key pointing to the exception type it belongs to.
The models can be accessed like so:
import ExceptionTypes, ExceptionRequests from require "lapis.exceptions.models"
Exceptions are grouped by their exception message in order to reduce the amount
of top level issues created. A normalized exception message is stored in the
ExceptionTypes
table. Numbers and strings are replaced by generic
identifiers, line numbers are left alone.
For example, the following exception message:
./lapis/nginx/postgres.lua:51: header part is incomplete: select id from hello_world where name = 'yeah' and age > 10
Would be normalized to:
./lapis/nginx/postgres.lua:51: header part is incomplete: select id from hello_world where name = [STRING] and age > [NUMBER]
Before being stored in the database.
