Addresses #28.

With config.exceptions_app = routes, Rails renders an error page by sending the request through the routes again as GET /<status>, and the error page's controller logged a request line of its own:

  • An action that raised logged two request lines: its own (its method and path, the error's status) and the error page's (GET /500, GET /422).
  • An error raised before any action, such as a routing error, logged the error page's line with the error page's method and path (GET /404), not the request's.

Now:

  • The error page's line has the request's own method and path, from action_dispatch.original_request_method and action_dispatch.original_path (under the app's script_name).
  • When the action's line logged the error, Lograge ignores the error page's line (a LogStruct ignore test, added beside the app's own), so the request has one line.
  • An error raised after the action, in a middleware, keeps the error page's line, since the action's line has the status the action returned.

The Rails test app can now serve its error pages from its routes (config.x.error_pages_from_routes, which ErrorPagesTest turns on; other tests keep Rails' default error pages).

The last commit releases it as 0.2.1 (version, Gemfile.lock and the changelog's date), so the merge can be tagged v0.2.1.

Also adds a rule to AGENTS.md: refer to issues as "Addresses #N", not "Fixes #N", so GitHub doesn't close them before the release, without a reply.

Tests

  • rails_test_app/templates/test/integration/error_pages_test.rb: a GET action that raises (one line, GET /logging/error, 500), a POST action that raises (one line, POST /security/submit, 422), and a POST to a missing route (one line, POST /no/such/route, 404, from ErrorsController). All three fail without the fix: two lines, and GET /404.
  • test/log_struct/integrations/lograge_error_pages_test.rb: an error after an action's line without one keeps the error page's line, the path under a mount point, events without a request, and that the ignore test is added once.
  • task ci passes locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Lograge request logging when Rails exceptions are handled by routes. Action exceptions now appear on the original request line without a duplicate error-page entry. Errors that occur during routing or middleware retain the original request method and path in the log.
  • Documentation
    • Updated configuration guidance to explain how route-based exception pages affect request logging. Added release notes for version 0.2.1.

With config.exceptions_app = routes, Rails renders an error page by sending
the request through the routes again as GET /<status>, so the error page's
controller logged a request line of its own: a second line after the line of
the action that raised, or, for an error raised before any action (a routing
error), a line with the error page's GET /404 instead of the request's own
method and path.

The error page's line now has the request's method and path, from Rails'
action_dispatch.original_request_method and action_dispatch.original_path,
and Lograge ignores it when the action's line logged the error. An error
raised after the action, in a middleware, keeps the error page's line: the
action's line has the status the action returned.

Addresses #28
GitHub closes an issue when a commit that says "Fixes #N" reaches main, before
the fix is released and without the reply that tells the reporter which
version has it.

Walkthrough

Lograge now restores the original method and path for Rails route-based error-page events and identifies repeated error-page logs. The Rails test app and tests cover this behavior. The changelog, configuration documentation, and contributor guidance are updated.

Lograge preserves original request details for error-page events and identifies repeated events. Tests cover classification, request metadata, and ignore-test registration. The changelog and configuration documentation describe the behavior, and the version changes to 0.2.1.

The test app can route exceptions to error-status routes. Integration tests check request logs for action exceptions and an unmatched POST route.

- Line 261: Update the request-line explanation in the Lograge documentation to
limit the one-line claim to exceptions raised by actions. Clarify that when
middleware raises after an action completes, the action’s request line may
already be written and the retained error-page line can produce a second line
for that request.
