How to make an error reportable in Laravel?

I have a problem with my api, my api connects to different external apis, it uses guzzle to make requests, I would like that every 500 status error displayed for those external apis to be reportable, so I could send an alert using sentry, I have this code:

app\Exceptions\Handler.php

 public function register()
    {
        $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
         ///dd('is reportable');

            if (app()->bound('sentry') && config('app.env') === 'production') {
                app('sentry')->captureException($e);
            }
        });
    }

In my local environment the .env file is set like this:

 APP_NAME=App
    APP_ENV=production
    APP_KEY=base64:lkjslkdjflkjlksdfb5uk=
    APP_DEBUG=true
    APP_URL=http://localhost
....

I did this to make some tests to see if everything is working fine, but it is not working.
I disable the mysql and I was able to trigger the alert, but I would like to trigger the alert for all 500 errors that those apis return. For example, if I am making a request to a external server using guzzle and it get this 500 status error:

{
	"message": "SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'https:\/\/invalid url' : failed to load external entity \"https:\/\/invalid\"\n",
	"exception": "SoapFault",
	"file": "/path/file.php",
	"line": 100,
	"trace": [
		{

I should be able to trigger the alert but I noticed that is not entering to this method

$this->reportable(

What can I do?

In Laravel, all exceptions pass through a file that can be found here: app/Exceptions/Handler.php.

public function register()
{
    $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
       Log::info($e->getMessage());
    });
}

there will be a new log created in storage/logs/laravel.log that will contain the following message

looks like this

[2022-08-03 08:07:56] local.INFO: Undefined variable $variableMissing

Useful Error Logging with Honeybadger

Installing Honeybadger is simple and easy, so please head over to the Honeybadger Laravel Docs and follow the step-by-step guide to install it. You will notice that all you need to do is install the composer dependency and set up the reportable callback:

public function register()
{
    $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
        if (app()->bound('honeybadger')) {
            app('honeybadger')->notify($e, app('request'));
        }
    });
}

After installing the Honeybadger composer dependency, run the following:

php artisan honeybadger:install your-project-api-key

Laravel will now send all error data to Honeybadger instead of a log file, which is much easier and cleaner to work with.

Creating Custom Exceptions

To Recap, we have shown what is considered an error in Laravel, how to edit the default pages, and how to hook into the exceptions that are thrown. However, let's take this tutorial a step further and build a custom exception.

Custom exceptions can be used for a number of purposes. The one I find most useful is to provide context for which area of the application I need to look into. For this simple use case and demo purposes, we’ll name our exception FailedToLoadHomePage and fire this if we are unable to render our home-page view for whatever reason.

Fire up that terminal and let's get started:

php artisan make: exception FailedToLoadHomePage

This will create a new class for us here app/Exceptions/FailedToLoadHomePage.php, and this class contains the following boilerplate:

<?php

namespace App\Exceptions;

use Exception;

class FailedToLoadHomePage extends Exception
{
    //
}

Now what we want to do is return to our route file and throw this exception when something goes wrong.

Route::get('/', function () {
    try {
        return view('welcome', [
            'data' => $variableMissing
        ]);
    } catch (Throwable $exception) {
        throw new FailedToLoadHomePage($exception->getMessage());
    }
});
