1179963 - RayGun fails to capture exceptions when stack trace locals have unicode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, defect, P5)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

RayGun appears to call str() on all locals in a stack trace before sending an exception off to their server, which breaks when one of those locals are unicode and need to be encoded. We currently have RayGun disabled as a workaround.

I believe the solution would be to submit a PR to their Python library that casts the locals with unicode() instead of str(), but more testing of that is necessary.

Someone already reported this to Raygun: https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4py/issues/23

I've submitted a PR to their library: https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4py/pull/24

Bug 1179963: Re-enable raygun and use fork.

Re-enables Raygun and temporarily uses my fork of raygun4py with a fix
for our unicode issues. Once the fix gets merged we should switch back
to the official library.

Only remaining step here is to switch back to using the default RayGun library once our two current PRs are merged upstream.
