Categories

Ready-made Rails code

BrowserLogger

Appends just this request's logs to the end of the response. It's a little more convenient than tailing a log, especially when you're not logged in. For now, it's 'always on.' Feel free to modify init.rb to incorporate whatever on/off switch you want.

You'll get all the database logs as well, complete with rudimentary color coding and JS filtering.

This will always gather ALL logging actions, regardless of configured log level--helpful when you're in prod mode and want to debug a request without changing the log level and bouncing.

Fire up your rails app, make a request with log! or logs! appended as a query param.

e.g.:

http://localhost/pets/show/1
http://localhost/pets/show/1?log!

    You have a bug that makes it interfere with Rails migration, believe it or not. dump_to_buf needs to return the exit value of self.send

    [RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER, ActiveRecord::Base.logger].each do |logger|

        logger.class.class_eval do
            def dump_to_buf(lvl,str)
                    # 2007-02-27
                    #self.send("unhooked_#{lvl}".to_sym, str)
                    val = self.send("unhooked_#{lvl}".to_sym, str)
                    if $browser_buf
                            $browser_buf << [lvl,str]
                    end
                    # 2007-02-27
                    return val
            end
    end
