exception_notification for delayed_job

Question

Is there a exception_notification-like gem for delayed_job? Preferably that works with REE-1.8.7 and Rails 2.3.10.

Answer 1

Include this module in classes which are to be delayed:

require 'exception_notifier'
module Delayed
  module ExceptionNotifier
    # Send error via exception notifier
    def error(job, e)
      env = {}
      env['exception_notifier.options'] = {
        :sections => %w(backtrace delayed_job),
        :email_prefix => '[Delayed Job ERROR] ',
        :exception_recipients => %w(some@email.com),
        :sender_address => %(other@email.com)
      }
      env['exception_notifier.exception_data'] = {:job => job}
      ::ExceptionNotifier::Notifier.exception_notification(env, e).deliver
    end
  end
end

and create a template for the notification in app/views/exception_notifier/_delayed_job.text.erb:

Job name: <%= @job.name %>
Job: <%= raw @job.inspect %>

* Process: <%= raw $$ %>
* Server : <%= raw `hostname -s`.chomp %>
