Turning logging on while fixtures load?

Rails
1

How do I get maximal logging while fixtures load? Or at least during
the
tests?

I have added this to test/test_helper.rb :-

def logger
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = Logger::INFO
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
end

so that I can use logger.info(“message”) in my tests, This didn’t
work, and neither did

Replace this with your real tests.

Leave this till other tests work

def test_truth
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = Logger::INFO
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.debug(“studen_test.test_truth”)
assert trueo
end

I still get nothing logged when this runs. I’m trying to debug my
fixtures which are setup with fixture_references, but I can’t even
get logging to work here. I’m looking for entries in the log directory
where the {developer,test,server,production}.log files are, but nothing
ends up in those, even though they exist.

` Thank you,

Rails turns off logging while the fixtures are loading. To get output
in the logs, you have to do a little hack of rails.

Firstly, it’s probably best to do this in a frozen version of rails,
then you only affect your own app.

The edit needs to be done in vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/
active_record/fixtures.rb in the method self.create_fixtures(…).
Find the bit where it says
ActiveRecord::Base.silence do
…
end
and comment out the start and end lines of the block.

That should do the trick.

Thank you. I would never have found that without help.
