Where does RACK log to?

问题:

I am running a sinatra app through RACK.

To which file does the activity get logged ? Also how can I set the log file path ?

回答1:

It depends. Many developers define their app log file to app/servername.log or just to the current path where the Rack app is loaded.

Yes you can change it's path.

Usually you get a config.ru file with something like:

  log = File.new("sinatra.log", "a+")
  $stdout.reopen(log)
  $stderr.reopen(log)

and/or

configure do
  LOGGER = Logger.new("sinatra.log")
  enable :logging, :dump_errors
  set :raise_errors, true
end

in this case the log file is located under appdir/sinatra.log. But remember this code can be anywhere in your Rack app, so please seek for "log" in your application directory.

$ cd projectname
$ grep -ri 'log' *

have fun and post here your config.ru and/or the mainprojectfile.rb.

The line of LOGGER = Logger.new("sinatra.log") in @include's answer above did not work for me.

However, an alternative listed here (along with some helpful explanations) worked for me, tested with ruby 2.5.3 and sinatra 2.0.1.

For additional info, that alternative is based on the structure presented in a Sinatra recipe.

The object_id are initially the same but it's better to assign to $stderr. That also leaves you open to return the stream to where it was originally with STDERR:

 $ irb
>> $stderr.object_id == STDERR.object_id
=> true

Same object, for now. Send it elsewhere,

>> $stderr = File.open('/tmp/foo', 'w')
=> #<File:/tmp/foo>
>> $stderr.puts "Uh-oh, foo"
=> nil
>> $stderr.flush    # if you want to verify its output
=> #<File:/tmp/foo>
>> $stderr.object_id == STDERR.object_id
=> false

$stderr and STDERR refer to different objects. STDERR still streams to the terminal here,

>> STDERR.puts "Uh-oh, original STDERR"
Uh-oh, original STDERR
=> nil

Restore $stderr,

>> $stderr = STDERR
=> #<IO:0x106fddb88>
>> $stderr.object_id == STDERR.object_id
=> true

And we're back!
