I love hoptoad. I especially like the ability to catch exceptions in rake tasks and have those exceptions logged at hoptoad using hoptoad_notifier.

Currently I am working on a government project where hoptoad can’t be used. Rather than writing code that captures all the information about exception, I am letting hoptoad_notifier do all the heavy lifting. Instead of sending the information to hoptoad this plugin ensures that information is written to a database. Since this plugin relies on hoptoad_notifier, you get to catch exception as if you are using hoptoad. Except that exceptions will be logged into a database.

README has more information about this plugin. This plugin has been tested with Rails 2.3.5 . Source code is on github

What about exception_logger

I looked at exception_logger which has over 200 people watching it. However it has not been updated in almost 2 years. Since I could not find alternative, I decided to write one from scratch and I built it on top of hoptoad_notifier.
