Using Airbrake with Rake

END OF SUPPORT WARNING: On November 24, 2016 Airbrake v4 won't be supported anymore and this wiki will be deleted. Read more & discuss: https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake/issues/596

DEPRECATION WARNING: The information presented on this page is related to Airbrake v4 only. If you seek for information for Airbrake v5, please refer to our README!

Do you want Airbrake to report exceptions that happen inside a rake task?

require 'rake'
require 'airbrake/rake_handler' # require this if you don't have rails loaded

Airbrake.configure do |config|
  # ...
  config.rescue_rake_exceptions = true
  config.ignore_rake << "ExceptionClassThatIWantToIgnore"  # rake handler has separate set of 
                                                           # ignored exceptions
end

Note: Airbrake must be loaded first to report exceptions. The easiest way to do this is to depend on the :environment task:

task :do_something => :environment do
  take_risks
  maybe_raise_errors
end
