Handling ActionController::UnknownFormat
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# Rather than return a 500 (internal server error) let's just say we can't
# find what they are looking for. Typically, this is when someone hits one
# of our valid routes but asks for the .xml format or something.

Use ruby_parser gem to list all ruby files that produce an error. I'm using this to highlight Ruby files that might not be parsed successfully by Code Climate.
namespace :code do
desc "Parse with ruby_parser and list files producing errors"
task :parse do
bad = []
Dir.glob("**/*.rb").each do |filename|
if system("ruby_parse_extract_error #{filename} > /dev/null 2>&1")
print "."
else
bad << filename
