A Raven client for CFML

raven-cfml

raven-cfml is a CFML client for Sentry <https://www.getsentry.com/welcome/>_.

Installation

Install source from GitHub


To install the source code:

::

    $ git clone git://github.com/iGLOO-be/raven-cfml.git

And instantiate the object:

::

    <cfset ravenConfig = structNew()>
    <cfset ravenConfig.publicKey = "[your_public_key]">
    <cfset ravenConfig.privateKey = "[your_private_key]">
    <cfset ravenConfig.sentryUrl = "[http://sentry_url]">
    <cfset ravenConfig.projectID = [numeric_project_id]>
    <cfset ravenClient = createObject('component', '[path.to.raven].lib.client').init(argumentCollection=ravenConfig)>

Usage
-----

Using Application.cfc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

   <cffunction name="OnError" access="public" returntype="void" output="false">
      <cfargument name="exception" type="any" required="true">
      <cfargument name="eventName" type="string" required="false" default="">

      <cfset ravenClient.captureException(exception)>

   </cffunction>


Inside a CFML Page
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

   <cftry>
      <!--- Code to execute --->

      <cfcatch>
         <!--- Capture a exception --->
         <cfset ravenClient.captureException(cfcatch)>

         <!--- Capture a message --->
         <cfset ravenClient.captureMessage("This is a message.")>
      </cfcatch>
   </cftry>

Explore the client.cfc library for all available arguments.

Threading
~~~~~~~~~

It maybe helpful to wrap the capture calls inside cfthread to isolate the api
call to sentry for performance.

::

   <cftry>
      <!--- Code to execute --->

      <cfcatch>
         <cfthread action="run" name="ravenThread" exception="#cfcatch#" cgiVars="#CGI#" httpRequestData="#getHttpRequestData()#">
            <cfset ravenConfig = structNew()>
            <cfset ravenConfig.publicKey = "[your_public_key]">
            <cfset ravenConfig.privateKey = "[your_private_key]">
            <cfset ravenConfig.sentryUrl = "[http://sentry_url]">
            <cfset ravenConfig.projectID = [numeric_project_id]>
            <cfset ravenConfig.cgiVars = cgiVars>
            <cfset ravenConfig.httpRequestData = httpRequestData>
            <cfset ravenClient = createObject('component', '[path.to.raven].lib.client').init(argumentCollection=ravenConfig)>

            <cfset ravenClient.captureException(cfcatch)>
         </cfthread>
      </cfcatch>
   </cftry>

Using the sentry-cfml plugin in Sentry
--------------------------------------

There is a plugin for sentry (`sentry-cfml <https://github.com/jmacul2/sentry-cfml>`_) that includes
a custom interface so that raven-cfml can send CFML specific variables.

Once installed, you can reference it using

::

   <cfset ravenConfig = structNew()>
   ...
   <cfset ravenConfig.customHttpInterface = 'sentry_cfml.interfaces.CFMLHttp'>
   ...
   <cfset ravenClient = createObject('component', '[path.to.raven].lib.client').init(argumentCollection=ravenConfig)>
