ExceptionHandler Ruby on Rails Gem

• ExceptionHandler is a “bungle pages” valuable stone for Ruby on Rails.
• Beginning at now at change 0.7.7.0, the valuable stone has been downloaded more than 170,000 times and is overall seen as the “best” dynamic blunder pages pearl for the structure. It endeavors to an amazing degree well.
• The most fundamental thing to perceive about ExceptionHandler is that it’s in a general sense wanted to give an “interpretation” framework for Rails mishandles, changing over them into the fitting HTTP mess up that a web program can read.
• While Rails may raise extraordinary cases from inside its center, these blunders are not what you find in your program. You see the http botch that the structure passes on to the web server. This http spoil is joined by a “HTTP Message Body” which is the thing that the program shows up on the page.
• Around the day’s end, while administering Rails fumbles – on the off chance that you need to really outline “checked” slip pages (with your own particular game plan or another) – you need to “hack” Rails to pass on those particular pages when goofs happen.
• The pages that are demonstrated have little impact to what the client finds in their web program; they’re essentially there to give a “checked” path for them to interface with it.
• At whatever point Rails raises a rejection inside its application – that mistake (it could be anything, for example, a database issue or something) is huge for the Rails application. What Rails does is “impact an explanation of” that foul up into one of two sorts of HTTP to mess up (which a program can read): 4xx (customer bungle) or 5xx (server mess up).
• Each time you utilize a “web” application, your PC is sending an enthusiasm for information on port 80 of a straightforwardly available IP address.
•  In the event that the other PC (server) has a “web server” application running on port 80, it will perceive the demand and react with HTTP based information (which will frequently solidify HTML code).
• The whole “web” is an open registry for the “Web”, gathering that on the off chance that you the IP (or proportionate space name) for a related PC, you ought to be able to get to it by techniques for the “HTTP” (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).
•  This HTTP convention is the point of convergence of how the “web” limits, and why by a wide margin most get stirred up while administering for “blunders” in their Rails based applications.
• HTTP “blunders” are not by any strategies bungles at everything except for off course reactions. Every “blunder” you see is so far a HTML page, showed up with a taking a gander at HTTP status code.
• Since HTTP is a “stateless” convention, it needs to work with what’s known as a “demand/reaction” layout – basically surmising that each and every time you send another demand to a web advantage, that demand is overseen as all things considered new.
• This is against “stateful” strategies, which “hold state” between demands; in the estimation neighborhood applications or for all intents and purposes indistinguishable. In all actuality what you see with HTTP blunders is a reaction to an off base demand. They’re to an awesome degree just status codes which enlighten that.
• To do this truly, you ought to be able to “impact a clarification of” Rails-based slip-ups into the fitting HTTP to blunder reaction. This is finished by the ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions middleware – which calls a middleware “get” (“exceptions_app”) to comprehend which “HTML” reaction to appear in the body of the stirred up message.
• It utilizes the “rescue_responses” hash to understand which HTTP spoil code to encourage any Rails one of a kind cases to. This hash can be reached out inside Rails, engaging clients to depict Rails-based “excellent cases” to the sensible HTTP reaction code.
• Say your application raises a blunder with ActiveRecord.
• In the event that it can’t locate a specific thing in the database – Rails will raise the ActiveRecord::NotFound avoidance class. This isn’t a HTTP-come full circle mess up; it’s just a “Rails” remarkable case. The key is that it must be “deciphered” into a goof that HTTP-based activities can get it. This is the place ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions comes in.
• ShowExceptions in a general sense takes the rejection question – goes it through the “rescue_responses” hash (to get a proper HTTP status code) and – fundamentally – summons the “exceptions_app” middleware catch to make the “HTTP message body” for the reaction…
• wrapper = ExceptionWrapper.new(backtrace_cleaner, interesting case)
• status = wrapper.status_code
• request.set_header “action_dispatch.exception”, wrapper.exception
• request.set_header “action_dispatch.original_path”, request.path_info
• request.path_info = “/#{status}”
• reaction = @exceptions_app.call(request.env)
• The key thing to perceive here is that @exceptions_app is the thing that ExceptionHandler has been endeavored to oversee.
• Each time Rails raises an exceptional case, the HTTP custom still stays regardless. As they say, you’re reliably going to require sending a HTTP status code and message body to the asking for web program… the capability lies in what you send.
• The issue for Rails is that @exceptions_app defaults to the “courses” – which gathers that it will stack 404.HTML or 500.HTML from the/open stock of your application. While this works, the pages are amateurish and static.
• To change the pages, ExceptionHandler repeals the “@exceptions_app” get with its own specific controller and perspectives. This proposes you’re fundamentally arranged to summon “dynamic” pages with Rails.
• The way ExceptionHandler works is to utilize the application’s “default” diagram (regularly “application”) for 4xx goofs, and breaker a completely custom “avoidance” organize 5xx oversights.
• The custom design is for the most part embraced as 5xx mistakes exhibit server issues, which recommends that in the occasion that you’re utilizing an arrangement that references the database (as most “application” traces do), it could impact a boundless float to happen.
• This induces in the event that you have an oversight – say ActiveRecord can’t stack a record from the database – Rails will even now summon ActiveDispatch::ShowExceptions.
• Regardless, because of ExceptionHandler superseding the “exceptions_app” get, rather than the static 404.HTML/500.HTML pages being called, the controller and perspectives pipeline gave by the valuable stone are summoned.
