How to log to sentry when catching an Exception?

You can send reportable exceptions to Sentry:

// app/Exceptions/Handler.php

public function report(Exception $exception)
{
    if (app()->bound('sentry') && $this->shouldReport($exception)){
        app('sentry')->captureException($exception);
    }

    parent::report($exception);
}

I already have this function.

But catched exception are NOT reported because are not bubbling to log, obviously, I think.

I need (I'd like....) to be able to log to Sentry like I actually use Log::info

But your reply suggested me to try this

app('sentry')->captureException($exception);

I'll report esit.

I confirm that we can call captureException in a catch module and everything works.

Also, I can use the same method to force a log to Sentry where I need even it is not an Exception.

Thanks

Cool.

I had assumed you meant that the framework was handling the Exception and not a try/catch.

We added the common way Sentry to our Laravel project, so frameworkj is handling the not-catched exceptions sending the exception to sentry.

The problem was that in a few cases, we need both to handled the exception in the code with a try / catch AND to log it to sentry to evidence a rare situation we're still investigating. Our code is able to 'survide' to the exception, and it MUST survive, so we need the catch; but catched exception are not logged to sentry, and we need to log this particular exception to sentry to allow better investigation about the problem.
