Small Tip: How to Enable ActiveRecord Logging in Merb
2 Nov2007

Today I was developing one small merb application for one of our projects and needed to see ActiveRecord logging on console like I do in Rails. After a short research I’ve found out that merb_active_record plugin passes its MERB_LOGGER to AR by default so I decided to try to change merb log level and here they are – my pretty colored AR logs!

So, if you want to see ActiveRecord logs in your application in development mode, then you need to add one line to your conf/environments/development.rb file:

1
2
puts "Loaded DEVELOPMENT Environment..."
MERB_LOGGER.level = Merb::Logger::DEBUG

That’s it for now. Long live merb! 🙂
