MLog

My little logger wrapper. Will give you easy access to logger functions with class and caller method info.

Usage

require 'rubygems'
require 'mlog'

you can then use the methods: elog,wlog,ilog,dlog

where elog is like:

logger.error "text if you like"

wlog is like:

logger.warn "text if you like"

ilog is like:

logger.info "text if you like"

dlog is like:

logger.debug "text if you like"

alog is like (uses awesome_print):

logger.ap "text" or object or sth. awesome

after require, just do some:

MLog::Configuration.add_log_path :file, Rails.root.join('log/mlog_test.log').to_s

fyi: logs are rotated ‘daily’

What might come in handy if you have no clue whats going on in somebodies code:

mlog_enable_trace
#...some code
mlog_disable_trace

You can encapsule code like that and then get flodded with all the ‘calls’ that happen in the vm.

/^(call)/ is the default regexp, but there’s more fun stuff to trace out there: returns, sends, …

Have phun kidz!
