BugSplat

⚠️ Deprecated!

BugSplat’s bugsplat-js package is now Deno-compatible via esm.sh. Please see our my-deno-crasher example for instructions on how to integrate your Deno application with BugSplat.

The most recent README file at the time of writing has been copied below.

bugsplat-deno

This sample project demonstrates how to use the bugsplat package to report TypeScript errors in Deno applications. Before continuing with the tutorial please make sure you have completed the following checklist:

  • Sign Up as a new BugSplat user.
  • Log In using your email address.

⚙️ Integrating

Add an import from bugsplat-js via esm.sh:

import { BugSplat } from 'https://esm.sh/bugsplat@8.0.1';

Create a new instance of the BugSplat class with the name of your BugSplat database, the name of your application, and the version of your application:

const bugsplat = new BugSplat('DatabaseName', 'AppName', '1.0.0');

Use the bugsplat instance to capture errors that originate inside of try-catch blocks:

try {
  throw new Error("BugSplat");
} catch (error) {
  await bugsplat.post(error);
}

Use bugsplat to post errors from promise rejections:

Promise.reject(new Error("BugSplat!")).catch(error => bugsplat.post(error, {}));

You can also attach a file to your error post by passing a BugSplatOptions object containing with a value for additionalFormDataParams property.

await bugsplat.post(error, getAdditionalOptionsWithLogFile());

function getAdditionalOptionsWithLogFile() {
  const filename = 'log.txt';
  return {
    additionalFormDataParams: [{
      key: 'file',
      value: new File([Deno.readFileSync(filename)], filename),
      filename: filename,
    }],
  };
}

🧪 Sample

Clone the my-deno-crasher repository:

git clone https://github.com/BugSplat-Git/my-deno-crasher

Set your current directory to my-deno-crasher.

cd my-deno-crasher

Run the sample with the --allow-net and --allow-read flags to allow BugSplat to post an error to our backend and read the log file respectively.

deno run --allow-net --allow-read main.ts

📈 Viewing Reports

After posting an error, navigate to the Crashes page. You should see a new crash report for the application you just configured. Click the link in the ID column to see details about your crash on the Crashes page:

Deno Error Reports

Deno Error Report

That’s it! Your application is now configured to post error reports to BugSplat.

API

In addition to the configuration demonstrated above, there are a few public methods that can be used to customize your BugSplat integration:

bugsplat.setDefaultAppKey(appKey); // Additional metadata that can be queried via BugSplats web application
bugsplat.setDefaultUser(user); // The name or id of your user
bugsplat.setDefaultEmail(email); // The email of your user
bugsplat.setDefaultDescription(description); // Additional info about your crash that gets reset after every post
async bugsplat.post(error, options); // Posts an arbitrary Error object to BugSplat
// If the values options.appKey, options.user, options.email, options.description are set the corresponding default values will be overwritten
// Returns a promise that resolves with properties: error (if there was an error posting to BugSplat), response (the response from the BugSplat crash post API), and original (the error passed by bugsplat.post)
