Exception Notification Gem and Rails 3

Question

I\'m trying to get this up and running, but I see \"uninitialized constant ExceptionNotifier\" whenever I start my server.

If you are doing a rescue_from Exception, with: :render_500 to handle showing a 500 template/page it no longer sends an email with just this

    config.middleware.use ExceptionNotifier,
  :email_prefix => "[some prefix] ",
  :sender_address => %{"Notifier" },
  :exception_recipients => %w{recipient@domain.com}

You'll need to manually send it in the method that handles the exception

def render_500(exception)
    # email an error email if there's a 500 in production mode
    if Rails.env.production?
        ExceptionNotifier::Notifier.exception_notification(request.env, exception).deliver
    end
end 

So put the config stuff in your environment (production.rb) and the Exception handling code in your application controller.
