NAME
Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher - Catch application errors and emit them
somewhere
SYNOPSIS
use Catalyst qw/-Debug StackTrace ErrorCatcher/;
DESCRIPTION
This plugin allows you to do More Stuff with the information that would
normally only be seen on the Catalyst Error Screen courtesy of the
Catalyst::Plugin::StackTrace plugin.
CONFIGURATION
The plugin is configured in a similar manner to other Catalyst plugins:
enabled 1
context 5
emit_module A::Module
enabled
Setting this to *true* forces the module to work its voodoo.
It's also enabled if the value is unset and you're running Catalyst
in debug-mode.
context
When there is stack-trace information to share, how many lines of
context to show around the line that caused the error.
emit_module
This specifies which module to use for custom output behaviour.
You can chain multiple modules by specifying a line in the config
for each module you'd like used:
emit_module A::Module
emit_module Another::Module
emit_module Yet::Another::Module
If none are specified, or all that are specified fail, the default
behaviour is to log the prepared message at the INFO level via
"$c->log()".
For details on how to implement a custom emitter see "CUSTOM EMIT
CLASSES" in this documentation.
CUSTOM EMIT CLASSES
A custom emit class takes the following format:
package A::Module;
# vim: ts=8 sts=4 et sw=4 sr sta
use strict;
use warnings;
sub emit {
my ($class, $c, $output) = @_;
$c->log->info(
'IGNORING OUTPUT FROM Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher'
);
return;
}
1;
__END__
The only requirement is that you have a sub called "emit".
"Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher" passes the following parameters in the
call to "emit()":
$class
The package name
$c A Context object
$output
The processed output from "Catalyst::Plugin::ErrorCatcher"
If you want to use the original error message you should use:
my @error = @{ $c->error };
You may use and abuse any Catalyst methods, or other Perl modules as you
see fit.
KNOWN ISSUES
This module has no tests!
