Automatic Airbrake errors with plain Ruby (no Rails or Sinatra) - ruby

Question

Is there a way to integrate Airbrake with a pure Ruby project (not rails or sinatra) so that unanticipated errors get reported? I have it set up and I am able to catch errors by calling Airbrake.notify_or_ignore and passing in the exception, but I can't get it to report errors without explicitly calling this.
The following is the code that works for explicitly calling Airbrake.notify but doesn't work for sending errors to Airbrake without explicitly calling notify:
require 'airbrake'
Airbrake.configure do |config|
config.api_key = ENV['AIRBRAKE_API_KEY']
config.development_environments = []
config.ignore_only = []
end
I tried adding Rack as a middleware with the following code:
require 'rack'
require 'airbrake'
Airbrake.configure do |config|
config.api_key = ENV['AIRBRAKE_API_KEY']
config.development_environments = []
config.ignore_only = []
end
app = Rack::Builder.app do
run lambda { |env| raise "Rack down" }
end
use Airbrake::Rack
run app
But I get an "undefined method `use' for main:Object (NoMethodError)"
Any thoughts?
