rescue 500 error without messing Airbrake up

Question

I have Airbrake installed on my Rails app. However, I also want to perform some other actions when a 500 occurs. How do I rescue 500 errors without interfering with Airbrake?

One way you can do this in your ApplicationController, you can put

unless Rails.application.config.consider_all_requests_local
  rescue_from Exception, with: :render_500
end

and later, a new render_500 method

def render_500(ex)
  notify_airbrake(ex)
  # render your template/message
end

Cool. Had to do `unless Rails.application.config.consider_all_requests_local`, but otherwise works. – bevanb Dec 07 '12 at 00:08
What version of Rails are you using? I'll happily update my answer to reflect this if it's current. – deefour Dec 07 '12 at 00:10
I'm using 3.2.9. I think the version I provided works for Rails 3 in general. – bevanb Dec 07 '12 at 10:03
