Include Extra Context In A Honeybadger Notify

The simplest way to notify Honeybadger of an error is to either pass it the exception directly:

rescue SpecializedError => e
  Honeybadger.notify(e)
end

Or to give it a custom message:

Honeybadger.notify("The user #{user.id} was unable to access their account.")

Honeybadger collects a lot of additional context about the report based on where it is called. More context is usually better though. You can pass additional, specific context with the context keyword argument.

message = "The user was unable to access their account."
Honeybadger.notify(
  message,
  context: { user_id: user.id, query: params[:query] }
)

Include whatever else you might want to know and those values will show up in the Honeybadger web interface.
