Undefined method `tagged' for Formatter error

I have upgraded from Rails 3.2 to Rails 4 by following the Ruby Screencast guide. My tests are running and the server starts, yet I receive an error when I send a request:

ERROR NoMethodError: undefined method `tagged' for #<Formatter:0x000000057f5dc8>

I have I have looked at the code, and it does not make sense for me. It calls logger.tagged. The object behind the variable logger is not a logger, but a Formatter object. This is strange.

Any idea what could cause this? So far I:

deleted my Gemfile.lock
gem update rails
bundle install
bundle update

In this and different orders. How can I approach this?

回答1:

Are you using a customer logger?

Check in config/environments/development.rb. That's where the logger is usually assigned.

Also, look in config/initializers for logging-related monkey patches.

I was using Chris Powell's logger patch, and it caused a very similar error.

If you're using that patch, there's an updated one for Rails 4: http://cbpowell.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/beautiful-logging-for-ruby-on-rails-4/

I also had the same error, got rid of it by re-initializing the logger.

Added a new file on config/initializers, called it log_formatting.rb

with this code:

Rails.logger = ActiveSupport::Logger.new "log/mylog.log"
Rails.logger.formatter = proc{|severity,datetime,progname,msg|
    "[#{datetime.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")}] [#{severity}]: #{msg}\n"
}
