965040 - Integrate RavenJS with Fireplace

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Code Quality, defect, P4)

Description

[Jared Lockhart [:jlockhart]]

Integrate RavenJS to point to a Zamboni endpoint that forwards to Sentry over the VPN.

Example of how this was achieved with Webpay is here:

Gosh darn! Raven.js is huge:

http://cdn.ravenjs.com/1.1.16/raven.js

The native and jQuery versions weigh in at 59 KB / 62 KB uncompressed (5.7 KB / 5.9 KB minified+gzip'd).

I tried following this:

    https://github.com/mozilla/webpay/commit/5180809

But I wasn't comfortable with including `raven.js` in Fireplace, considering how large it is (5.7 KB isn't huge, but still). I think we should look into it more to really see what it's all doing.

Notice that Raven.js was added to webpay (bug 942912) but it appears to not actually have a URL set up:

I have opened this PR as a WIP alternative to Raven.js. I have immediately closed the PR, but anyone is free to resurrect. One day we should consider actually implementing Raven.js.

It's irresponsible to not log client-side errors. We would never think for a second about getting rid of Sentry for our Django app, so we should definitely do the same logging with our front-end app.

I just found this today! http://requestb.in/

It's essentially what I wanted to build - but luckily someone else built it and it's way better. Super useful for testing.

We're enrolled in a trial of New Relic Browser™, which does JS errors (among other perf analytics stuff).

And now we've got JS errors in Marketplace production rolling in:

And it's sweeeeet!
