Rails.logger is nil when invoking rake tasks

musicdenotation · February 18, 2014, 11:36am

Good morning everybody,

is it expected for the Rails.logger to be left uninitialized before
executing a rake task?
These are the steps to reproduce my test:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/olistik/9068351

mytask.rake

task :foo do
  if Rails.logger.nil?
    puts "WAT"
  end
end

shell session

ಠ_ಠ rails -v
Rails 4.0.2
ಠ_ಠ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-darwin12.0]
ಠ_ಠ rails new mytest
....
Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
ಠ_ಠ cd mytest/
ಠ_ಠ cat lib/tasks/mytask.rake

This file has been truncated. show original

Thanks

With a task like that, the rails environment is not loaded, so I
wouldn’t
expect much in the way of rails to be setup. If you set your task to
depend
on the :environment task then Rails should be setup for you.

Thanks, I’ve updated the gist
