Setup Airbrake for your Rails application

[trosborn]

Installation

Using bundler

Add the Airbrake gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'airbrake', '~> 5.7'

Manual

Invoke the following command from your terminal:

gem install airbrake

Integration

Invoke the following command from your terminal (You can find your project ID and API KEY with your project's settings):

rails g airbrake <Your project ID> <Your project API KEY>

This command will generate the Airbrake configuration file under config/initializers/airbrake.rb.
Make sure that this file is checked into your version control system. This is enough to start Airbraking.

To test the integration, invoke a special Rake task that we provide:

rake airbrake:test

After this, a test exception should appear in your dashboard.
