Question

the development.log in my application has never worked since the beginning of creating the application. I pull other projects from github, run them and the logs work perfectly fine. the SQL queries don’t get logged to the server console either. I usually just see something like

Started GET "/admins/queued_users/3" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-07-29 15:16:46 -0700
Processing by Admins::QueuedUsersController#show as HTML
Parameters: {"id"=>"3"}
Rendered admins/queued_users/show.html.erb within layouts/admin (18.5ms)
Completed 200 OK in 120ms (Views: 53.2ms | ActiveRecord: 19.9ms)

even though there is an sql query involved

If you have any idea, or want me to post any code please let me know. I’ve looked for a LONG time everywhere online for a solution. I’ve deleted and recreated the log/development.log file, the whole log folder, reset permissions to be 777 on the file/ folder and everything. Help!

Below is my gemfile lock

Answer 1

Search your application for any assignments to this config:

config.log_level

If you can’t find any, check your current log level from console:

Rails.logger.level

This value should be 0 or 1, on development environment. If it is not, set the config.log_level property to :debug

config.log_level = :debug

At your development.rb file (don’t do this at the environment.rb or application.rb file.
