How to enable Rails 3 like logging in Rails 2.0.x

I have old project where I have to use Rails 2.0.2. I have faced problem with debugging of errors in application. Current problem is that I have very short log output in development environment:

  • no SQL queries;
  • no error trace;
  • no params inspect;
  • no response time and so on.

All I have (for each request):

127.0.0.1 - - [29/nov/2012:17:54:41 EET] "POST /products/1/nested HTTP/1.1" 500 60
- -> /products/1/nested

In configuration I have log_level enabled to :debug (it is enabled to :debug by default).

Any idea how I can improve logging in Rails 2.0.2 to make it look like Rails 2.3.x or 3.x?

Solution

  • The log you posted is an apache (or other web server) log. You want the log in app/log/<environment>.log which has all the goodies just like in Rails 2.
