module ActiveSupport
  # Many backtraces include too much information that's not relevant for the context. This makes it hard to find the signal
  # in the backtrace and adds debugging time. With a BacktraceCleaner, you can setup filters and silencers for your particular
  # context, so only the relevant lines are included.
  #
  # If you need to reconfigure an existing BacktraceCleaner, like the one in Rails, to show as much as possible, you can always
  # call BacktraceCleaner#remove_silencers!
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   bc = BacktraceCleaner.new
  #   bc.add_filter   { |line| line.gsub(Rails.root, '') } 
  #   bc.add_silencer { |line| line =~ /mongrel|rubygems/ }
  #   bc.clean(exception.backtrace) # will strip the Rails.root prefix and skip any lines from mongrel or rubygems
  #
  # Inspired by the Quiet Backtrace gem by Thoughtbot.

      @filters, @silencers = [], []

    # Returns the backtrace after all filters and silencers has been run against it. Filters run first, then silencers.
    def clean(backtrace)
      silence(filter(backtrace))
    end

    # Adds a filter from the block provided. Each line in the backtrace will be mapped against this filter.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   # Will turn "/my/rails/root/app/models/person.rb" into "/app/models/person.rb"
    #   backtrace_cleaner.add_filter { |line| line.gsub(Rails.root, '') }
    def add_filter(&block)
      @filters << block
    end

    # Adds a silencer from the block provided. If the silencer returns true for a given line, it'll be excluded from the
    # clean backtrace.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   # Will reject all lines that include the word "mongrel", like "/gems/mongrel/server.rb" or "/app/my_mongrel_server/rb"
    #   backtrace_cleaner.add_silencer { |line| line =~ /mongrel/ }
    def add_silencer(&block)
      @silencers << block
    end

    # Will remove all silencers, but leave in the filters. This is useful if your context of debugging suddenly expands as
    # you suspect a bug in the libraries you use.
