rescue 500 error without messing Airbrake up

airbrake, ruby-on-rails

Solution

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

Problem

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?
