Question

I get this error when trying to start the server.

logger.rb:541:in `exist?': can't convert Rails::Paths::Path into String (TypeError)

This is the code in my development.rb.

require 'log_formatter'
config.logger = Logger.new(config.paths.log.first)
config.logger.formatter = LogFormatter.new
config.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG

I have tried adding .to_s, but it’s no use.

Google is no help either.

Answer 1

Try

config.logger = Logger.new(config.paths.log.first.path)
