I have a gem which I wrote and I use it inside my rails application.
I want to write to rails logger from my gem but obviously the standard rails logger doesn’t exist there.
What is the right way to achieve what I want to do?

While you should be able to use
Rails.loggeryou might want to consider making the logger that your gem uses configurable, i.e. allow users to setMyGem.loggerto whatever logger they want.You can default it to something that just writes to stdout, in a rails app you can set
MyGem.logger = Rails.loggerin an initialiser. People who are using your gem outside of rails can do so too.
