Integrate scraper errors into Slack #167

Closed divergentdave closed 9 years ago

divergentdave commented 9 years ago

We should add an error reporting option to fire off a Webhook to post in a Slack channel when a scraper encounters an error, and then enable it on someone's production server.

Initial support added in 2a0c9b76452f7428b2f627435af8e0df067260cc, I did some testing with DMs to myself, and it seems to work well enough. Right now it's just shoving the entire exception and stack trace into a text message, we could add some finesse down the line by making it an "attachment."

That might be nice, but yeah this works great right now! @divergentdave, I'll update my server to use the webhook and post to #errors.
