How do i integrate Hoptoad with DelayedJob and DaemonSpawn?

Question

I have been happily using the DelayedJob idiom:

foo.send_later(:bar)

This calls the method bar on the object foo in the DelayedJob process.

Check out the source for Delayed::Job... there's a snippet like:

# This is a good hook if you need to report job processing errors in additional or different ways
def log_exception(error)
  logger.error "* [JOB] #{name} failed with #{error.class.name}: #{error.message} - #{attempts} failed attempts"
  logger.error(error)
end

I haven't tried it, but I think you could do something like:

class Delayed::Job
  def log_exception_with_hoptoad(error)
    log_exception_without_hoptoad(error)
    HoptoadNotifier.notify(error)
  end

  alias_method_chain :log_exception, :hoptoad
end
