New in Edge: Prettier Default Error Pages

Posted by Trey Tue, 10 Oct 2006 20:31:00 GMT

David just checked-in a revision that finally spruces up those default 404 and 500 error pages.

They’ve gone from

blah

Old Error Message

to

New Error Message

It’s not a huge deal, but it definitely adds to the out-of-box professional experience of rails. I know I’ve felt a bit odd when presented with a client saying “it says ‘Application error’”. I know I should have created custom error pages, but all to often that step gets overlooked. Now, even if it’s forgotten, you still look professional.

I’m not sure what that part about the notification is yet, maybe Rails adopting Jamis’ exception notifier?
