Go client for Rollbar

rollbar

rollbar is a Golang Rollbar client that makes it easy to report errors to Rollbar with full stacktraces. Errors are sent to Rollbar asynchronously in a background goroutine.

Because Go's error type doesn't include stack information from when it was set or allocated, we use the stack information from where the error was reported.

Usage

package main

import (
  "github.com/stvp/rollbar"
)

func main() {
  rollbar.SetToken("MY_TOKEN")
  rollbar.SetEnvironment("production")                 // defaults to "development"
  rollbar.SetCodeVersion("v2")                         // optional Git hash/branch/tag (required for GitHub integration)
  rollbar.SetServerHost("web.1")                       // optional override; defaults to hostname
  rollbar.SetServerRoot("github.com/heroku/myproject") // path of project (required for GitHub integration and non-project stacktrace collapsing)

  result, err := DoSomething()
  if err != nil {
    rollbar.Error(rollbar.ERR, err)
  }

  rollbar.Message("info", "Message body goes here")

  rollbar.Wait()
}

Running Tests

Set up a dummy project in Rollbar and pass the access token as an environment variable to go test:

TOKEN=f0df01587b8f76b2c217af34c479f9ea go test

And verify the reported errors manually.
