Safe re-rendering #13

Open sixfeetover opened 6 years ago

sixfeetover commented 6 years ago

Support safely re-rendering templates, meaning if an exception is thrown during render, don't overwrite the previously rendered template.

Example situation:

Instead of the app failing to launch, we should allow for graceful (and reported - meaning, the error makes it to Rollbar or whatever) failure, so the app can boot with the previously rendered template.

Questions:

  1. Should this be configurable on a per-template basis?
  2. Should this be the default behavior?
