Return result of wrapped function from context

[matthewwithanm]

This adds one word ("return") and a test (:

The idea is that it makes the context method more of a transparent wrapping. This comes in handy with anything where the return value matters—for example, RequireJS:

Without Raven

define(function (require) {
    var result = doSomething();
    return {
        something: result.anything
    };
});

With Raven

define(function (require) {
    var result;
    // require raven yada yada

    Raven.context(function () {
        result = doSomething();
    });

    return {
        something: result.anything
    };
});

With Raven + This Change

define(function (require) {
    // require raven yada yada

    return  Raven.context(function () {
        var result = doSomething();
        return {
            something: result.anything
        };
    });
});

This allows you wrap your entire module with little change (and without having to worry if you missed some errors that were done after the context call). It's even nicer in CoffeeScript thanks to the implicit returns:

Without Raven

define (require) ->
  result = doSomething()

  # Exports
  something: result.anything

With Raven + This Change

define (require) ->
  # require raven yada yada

  Raven.context ->
    result = doSomething()

    # Exports
    something: result.anything

Basically, you just need to indent your code an extra level, as opposed with the current behavior where you need to create a variable in the outer context and close over it.

These are small examples to get the point across but obviously it has more of an impact as the amount of code grows.

Looks sensible to me! Thanks. 👍

No problem! Any idea when the next release'll be? Seems like it's been a while.

It has been a while. We are planning to get together this weekend and figure out the tooling and whatnot for this. I built some stuff that made things more difficult to do releases, so it has been a pain point. We're gonna switch to grunt and whatnot this weekend and get things into some standard tools.

Also, finishing ravenjs.com as well for downloading custom built versions from our new CDN. :)

Cool. Thanks for all the hard work (:
