module Roda::RodaPlugins::ErrorEmail

The error_email plugin adds an error_email instance method that send an email related to the exception. This is most useful if you are also using the error_handler plugin:

plugin :error_email, :to=>'to@example.com', :from=>'from@example.com'
plugin :error_handler do |e|
  error_email(e)
  'Internal Server Error'
end

Options:

:from

The From address to use in the email (required)

:headers

A hash of additional headers to use in the email (default: empty hash)

:host

The SMTP server to use to send the email (default: localhost)

:prefix

A prefix to use in the email’s subject line (default: no prefix)

:to

The To address to use in the email (required)

The subject of the error email shows the exception class and message. The body of the error email shows the backtrace of the error and the request environment, as well the request params and session variables (if any).

Note that emailing on every error as shown above is only appropriate for low traffic web applications. For high traffic web applications, use an error reporting service instead of this plugin.
