Hi,

logger.info ‘test’ does not print anything to my log files when called  
from the controller. If I script/console and type the same line it  
does … I’ve searched online but I can’t find anything that can help  
me troubleshoot.

I’ve also tried @test = logger.methods

and then debugging @test in the view but I get a bank variable.

Any suggestions welcome.

Luke

Ah … okay that was silly. The problem was the line to write to the  
log was written after the line to render a view.
