Bugsnag doesn't send notification in rails console

Question

I've set up Bugsnag in development/production environment in Rails 4.

I'd love to test thing out in rails console.

Bugsnag.notify('test test test')

The config is following.

  Bugsnag.configure do |config|
    config.api_key = ENV['BUGSNAG_SECRET']
    config.notify_release_stages = ["production", "development"]
  end

Am I missing something important?

Note: I know nothing about bugsnag so this is a total guess.... does it actually do the notifications in test/dev environments? (some gems only do that in prod) — Taryn East, Feb 24 '17 at 02:52
Bugsnag does produces errors from development & prod & staging. — Aditya Varma, Feb 24 '17 at 04:42
Are you certain the api_key is set? What do you get when you type `Bugsnag.api_key` — Christian Schlensker, Feb 25 '17 at 01:48

First, I would confirm you have installed bugsnag gem to your Gemfile: bundle add bugsnag

To correctly test notify, I would suggest trying something like this:

begin
  raise 'Something went wrong!'
rescue => exception
  Bugsnag.notify(exception)
end
