+* Introduce `ActiveSupport::ActionableError`.
+
+ Actionable errors let's you dispatch actions from Rails' error pages. This
+ can help you save time if you have a clear action for the resolution of
+ common development errors.
+
+ The de-facto example are pending migrations. Every time pending migrations
+ are found, a middleware raises an error. With actionable errors, you can
+ run the migrations right from the error page. Other examples include Rails
+ plugins that need to run a rake task to setup themselves. They can now
+ raise actionable errors to run the setup straight from the error pages.
+
+ Here is how to define an actionable error:
+
+ ```ruby
+ class PendingMigrationError < MigrationError #:nodoc:
+ include ActiveSupport::ActionableError
+
+ action "Run pending migrations" do
+ ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrate
+ end
+ end
+ ```
+
+ To make an error actionable, include the `ActiveSupport::ActionableError`
+ module and invoke the `action` class macro to define the action. An action
+ needs a name and a procedure to execute. The name is shown as the name of a
+ button on the error pages. Once clicked, it will invoke the given
+ procedure.
