dnsimple/bugsnag-erlang

This system is a Bugsnag client library for Erlang applications, designed to report errors and exceptions to the Bugsnag service. It integrates with the Erlang logger to automatically capture and forward structured log events and exceptions, while supporting configuration for API keys, release stages, and application versions. The project also includes a modernized build system using rebar3 and native OTP logging, along with a comprehensive test suite to verify its functionality.

A new OTP logger-compliant handler module (\bugsnag\_logger\_handler\) has been introduced to automatically forward structured log events to BugSnag. This handler processes incoming log messages, ensuring they are structured with necessary metadata (such as MFA and level) and extracting exception details where available, before notifying BugSnag. It includes safeguards to prevent infinite logging loops from the BugSnag worker and handles unstructured logs by treating the message as the primary event field.

src/handlers · high confidence

This change introduces the \bugsnag\_erlang\ application, providing a notifier for Erlang applications to report errors and exceptions to Bugsnag. The client supports configuration via application environment variables or programmatic setup, allowing users to define API keys, release stages, handler names, and pool sizes. It features a logger handler integration to automatically capture and report errors, supports granular configuration of multiple handlers, and includes an API for manually notifying Bugsnag of events. The implementation handles exception formatting, breadcrumb tracking, and sends payloads using the Bugsnag Error Reporting API v5.

src · high confidence

The Bugsnag worker now supports an optional \app\_version\ configuration option. When provided, this version is included in the base event payload sent to Bugsnag, allowing users to track which application version generated specific errors. If not specified, the version field is omitted from the event data.

src/workers · high confidence

The project has been upgraded to require OTP 27 and migrated from the lager logging library to the native Erlang/OTP Logger, removing the jsx dependency in favor of the standard json module. The build process now uses rebar3 exclusively, replacing the previous reltool-based release structure with a modern plugin ecosystem (including erlfmt, dialyzer, and hex publishing). This change introduces stricter code quality checks, new linting rules, and a simplified development workflow via a new Makefile.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added a new Common Test suite (bugsnag\_SUITE.erl) and an HTTP helper module (http\_helper.erl) to verify the Bugsnag Erlang application. The tests cover application startup configurations (enabled/disabled, API keys, release stages, pool sizes, custom log levels, and app version reporting), logger handler lifecycle, and the generation of telemetry and Datadog exception events from structured logs.
