Logging can load initializers first?

[wbotelhos]

Gemfile:

gem 'logging-rails', require: 'logging/rails'

config/loggin.rb

The original.

config/initializers/logging.rb:

Rails.application.configure do
  if Rails.env.production?
    config.log_to                 = %w[file]
    config.show_log_configuration = false
  else
    config.log_to                 = %w[stdout]
    config.show_log_configuration = true
  end
end

Log configuration:

root  ............................................  *debug      -T
- <Appenders::RollingFile:0x18f397c name="file">
  ActionMailer::Base  ............................   debug  +A  -T
  ActiveRecord::Base  ............................   debug  +A  -T
  ActiveSupport::Cache::FileStore  ...............   debug  +A  -T
  ActiveSupport::Dependencies  ...................   debug  +A  -T
  Logging  .......................................    *off  -A  -T
  Rails  .........................................   debug  +A  -T

I tried to let the config on environments files, but the same effect, the Rails original logging was supressed, but I can't log. I tried:

Rails.logger.error 'foo' # true
Logging::Logger[::Rails].error 'foo' # true
::Logging::Logger[self].error 'foo' # true

The problem is that log?: Logging ....................................... *off -A -T
If yes, What I need more to re-enable Rails logging with my manual one?
How is the logging calling? Rails.logger.xyz?

Thanks you.

Well,

My problem is the config/logging.rb is called first then initializers, so config.log_to comes with a default (file), not my declared stdout. I used to not change original config files and create initializers to be easier future upgrades. So, there is some way to call config/initializers/logging.rb first then config/logging.rb or a better workaround?

I did a ugly workaround like the following:

Rails.application.configure do
  if Rails.env.production?
    config.log_to                 = %w[file]
    config.show_log_configuration = false
  else
    config.log_to                 = %w[stdout]
    config.show_log_configuration = true
  end

  config.log_level = :debug
end

Logging::Rails.configure do |config|
...

Does using Rails.application.config.before_initialize inside of your initializer fix your issue?

You should really only have to set log_to and show_log_configuration in files in config/environments.

I am using a simple initializer with before_initialize to set the log level. I do this because I use the log level specified in the environment variable LOG_LEVEL.

I set it directly on config to work.
Thank you for the tip, I think it can solve this problem. (:
