How to I see SQL trace when using (a) rails console & (b) running rspec tests?

Rails

Hi,

I’d like to know how to monitor the SQL calls (from ActiveRecord) for
both
the cases:
(a) using rails console [development mode], and
(b) running rspec tests [test mode]

How can I do this? For item (a) I recollect previously I could just run
up
a “./script/server” and see this whilst using “./script/console” however
it
does not seem to be working currently for me.

Tks

Not sure about (b), but for (a) put this in your ~/.irbrc

Log to STDOUT if in Rails

if ENV.include?(‘RAILS_ENV’) && !Object.const_defined?
(‘RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER’)
require ‘logger’
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER = Logger.new(STDOUT)
end

(b) running rspec tests [test mode]

Not sure about (b), but for (a) put this in your ~/.irbrc

For (b), gem install assert_efficient_sql, then put this around your
RSpec
money-line:

inspect_sql :verbose => true do
concoct_sql()
end

It will spew out your SQL statements, and their EXPLAIN results, so you
can see
the bottlenecks.

It only works for MySQL tho…

Also, put in require ‘assert_efficient_sql’, and this:

Spec::Runner.configure do |c|
c.include Test::Unit::Assertions
end
