Using logger

ruby-talk
1

Hi. I'm trying to use Ruby's built in logger to show messages with the
severity and timestamp, but I'm just getting the message string, (no
severity or timestamp).

Any suggestions?

(If possible, please cc all responses to me at listrecv at gmail,
thanks!)

l=Logger.new(STDOUT)

=> #<Logger:0x5a04910 @progname=nil,
@logdev=#<Logger::LogDevice:0x5a048b0 @dev=
#<IO:0x48ce7e8>, @shift_size=nil, @shift_age=nil, @filename=nil>,
@level=0, @dat
etime_format=nil>

l.info 'Test'

Test
=> true

l.formatter = proc { |s, t, p, m| "#{s} #{t} #{p} #{m}" }

NoMethodError: undefined method `formatter=' for #<Logger:0x5a04910>
        from (irb):138

l.info 'try again'

try again
=> true

···

from :0

which ruby version? this certainly works for me:

   harp:~ > ruby -r logger -e' Logger::new(STDOUT).info 42 '
   I, [2005-11-13T17:51:50.496175 #5158] INFO -- : 42

   harp:~ > ruby -r logger -e' Logger::new(STDOUT).info{ 42 } '
   I, [2005-11-13T17:51:57.527556 #5159] INFO -- : 42

-a

It should be ruby-1.8.2 or earlier. Logger#formatter= is from ruby-1.8.3.

Unfortunately some library/application ruins original logger.rb.
Adding the following line may recover the original logger.rb definition
(with some warnings).

  load "logger.rb"
