raven-lua

A small Lua interface to Sentry that also has a helpful wrapper function call() that takes any arbitrary Lua function (with arguments) and executes it, traps any errors and reports it automatically to Sentry.

Synopsis

    local raven = require "raven"

    -- http://pub:[email protected]:8080/sentry/proj-id
    local rvn = raven:new("http://pub:[email protected]:8080/sentry/proj-id", {
       tags = { foo = "bar" },
    })

    -- Send a message to sentry
    local id, err = rvn:captureMessage(
      "Sentry is a realtime event logging and aggregation platform.",
      { tags = { abc = "def" } } -- optional
    )
    if not id then
       print(err)
    end

    -- Send an exception to sentry
    local exception = {{
       ["type"]= "SyntaxError",
       ["value"]= "Wattttt!",
       ["module"]= "__builtins__"
    }}
    local id, err = rvn:captureException(
       exception,
       { tags = { abc = "def" } } -- optional
    )
    if not id then
       print(err)
    end

    -- Catch an exception and send it to sentry
    function bad_func(n)
       return not_defined_func(n)
    end

    -- variable 'ok' should be false, and an exception will be sent to sentry
    local ok = rvn:call(bad_func, 1)
