Public Class Methods

appenders() click to toggle source

Access to the appenders.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 158
def appenders
  ::Logging::Appenders
end
backtrace #=> true or false click to toggle source
backtrace( value ) #=> true or false

Without any arguments, returns the global exception backtrace logging value. When set to true backtraces will be written to the logs; when set to false backtraces will be suppressed.

When an argument is given the global exception backtrace setting will be changed. Value values are "on", :on<tt> and true to turn on backtraces and <tt>"off", :off and false to turn off backtraces.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 350
def backtrace( b = nil )
  @backtrace = true unless defined? @backtrace
  return @backtrace if b.nil?

  @backtrace = case b
      when :on, 'on', true;    true
      when :off, 'off', false; false
      else
        raise ArgumentError, "backtrace must be true or false"
      end
end
color_scheme( name, opts = {} ) click to toggle source

Returns the color scheme identified by the given name. If there is no color scheme nil is returned.

If color scheme options are supplied then a new color scheme is created. Any existing color scheme with the given name will be replaced by the new color scheme.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 169
def color_scheme( name, opts = {} )
  if opts.empty?
    ::Logging::ColorScheme[name]
  else
    ::Logging::ColorScheme.new(name, opts)
  end
end
configure( filename ) click to toggle source
configure { block }

Configures the Logging framework using the configuration information found in the given file. The file extension should be either '.yaml' or '.yml' (XML configuration is not yet supported).

# File lib/logging.rb, line 38
def configure( *args, &block )
  if block
    return ::Logging::Config::Configurator.process(&block)
  end

  filename = args.shift
  raise ArgumentError, 'a filename was not given' if filename.nil?

  case File.extname(filename)
  when '.yaml', '.yml'
    ::Logging::Config::YamlConfigurator.load(filename, *args)
  else raise ArgumentError, 'unknown configuration file format' end
end
consolidate( 'First::Name', 'Second::Name', ... ) click to toggle source

Consolidate all loggers under the given namespace. All child loggers in the namespace will use the "consolidated" namespace logger instead of creating a new logger for each class or module.

If the "root" logger name is passed to this method then all loggers will consolidate to the root logger. In other words, only the root logger will be created, and it will be used by all classes and modules in the application.

Example

Logging.consolidate( 'Foo' )

foo = Logging.logger['Foo']
bar = Logging.logger['Foo::Bar']
baz = Logging.logger['Baz']

foo.object_id == bar.object_id    #=> true
foo.object_id == baz.object_id    #=> false
# File lib/logging.rb, line 210
def consolidate( *args )
  ::Logging::Repository.instance.add_master(*args)
  self
end
format_as( obj_format ) click to toggle source

Defines the default obj_format method to use when converting objects into string representations for logging. obj_format can be one of :string, :inspect, or :yaml. These formatting commands map to the following object methods

  • :string => to_s

  • :inspect => inspect

  • :yaml => to_yaml

An ArgumentError is raised if anything other than :string, :inspect, :yaml is passed to this method.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 326
def format_as( f )
  f = f.intern if f.instance_of? String

  unless [:string, :inspect, :yaml].include? f
    raise ArgumentError, "unknown object format '#{f}'"
  end

  module_eval "OBJ_FORMAT = :#{f}", __FILE__, __LINE__
  self
end
include Logging.globally click to toggle source
include Logging.globally( :logger )

Add a "logger" method to the including context. If included from Object or Kernel, the logger method will be available to all objects.

Optionally, a method name can be given and that will be used to provided access to the logger:

include Logging.globally( :log )
log.info "Just using a shorter method name"

If you prefer to use the shorter "log" to access the logger.

Example

include Logging.globally

class Foo
  logger.debug "Loading the Foo class"
  def initialize
    logger.info "Creating some new foo"
  end
end

logger.fatal "End of example"
# File lib/logging.rb, line 243
def globally( name = :logger )
  Module.new {
    eval "def #{name}() @_logging_logger ||= ::Logging::Logger[self] end"
  }
end
init( levels ) click to toggle source

Defines the levels available to the loggers. The levels is an array of strings and symbols. Each element in the array is downcased and converted to a symbol; these symbols are used to create the logging methods in the loggers.

The first element in the array is the lowest logging level. Setting the logging level to this value will enable all log messages. The last element in the array is the highest logging level. Setting the logging level to this value will disable all log messages except this highest level.

This method should be invoked only once to configure the logging levels. It is automatically invoked with the default logging levels when the first logger is created.

The levels "all" and "off" are reserved and will be ignored if passed to this method.

Example:

Logging.init :debug, :info, :warn, :error, :fatal
log = Logging::Logger['my logger']
log.level = :warn
log.warn 'Danger! Danger! Will Robinson'
log.info 'Just FYI'                        # => not logged

or

Logging.init %w(DEBUG INFO NOTICE WARNING ERR CRIT ALERT EMERG)
log = Logging::Logger['syslog']
log.level = :notice
log.warning 'This is your first warning'
log.info 'Just FYI'                        # => not logged
# File lib/logging.rb, line 286
def init( *args )
  args = %(debug info warn error fatal) if args.empty?

  args.flatten!
  levels = LEVELS.clear
  names = LNAMES.clear

  id = 0
  args.each do |lvl|
    lvl = levelify lvl
    unless levels.has_key?(lvl) or lvl == 'all' or lvl == 'off'
      levels[lvl] = id
      names[id] = lvl.upcase
      id += 1
    end
  end

  longest = names.inject {|x,y| (x.length > y.length) ? x : y}
  longest = 'off' if longest.length < 3
  module_eval "MAX_LEVEL_LENGTH = #{longest.length}", __FILE__, __LINE__

  initialize_plugins
  levels.keys
end
layouts() click to toggle source

Access to the layouts.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 152
def layouts
  ::Logging::Layouts
end
libpath( *args, &block ) click to toggle source

Returns the library path for the module. If any arguments are given, they will be joined to the end of the library path using File.join.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 372
def libpath( *args, &block )
  rv = args.empty? ? LIBPATH : ::File.join(LIBPATH, args.flatten)
  if block
    begin
      $LOAD_PATH.unshift LIBPATH
      rv = block.call
    ensure
      $LOAD_PATH.shift
    end
  end
  return rv
end
logger( device, age = 7, size = 1048576 ) click to toggle source
logger( device, age = 'weekly' )

This convenience method returns a Logger instance configured to behave similarly to a core Ruby Logger instance.

The device is the logging destination. This can be a filename (String) or an IO object (STDERR, STDOUT, an open File, etc.). The age is the number of old log files to keep or the frequency of rotation (daily, weekly, or monthly). The size is the maximum logfile size and is only used when age is a number.

Using the same device twice will result in the same Logger instance being returned. For example, if a Logger is created using STDOUT then the same Logger instance will be returned the next time STDOUT is used. A new Logger instance can be obtained by closing the previous logger instance.

log1 = Logging.logger(STDOUT)
log2 = Logging.logger(STDOUT)
log1.object_id == log2.object_id  #=> true

log1.close
log2 = Logging.logger(STDOUT)
log1.object_id == log2.object_id  #=> false

The format of the log messages can be changed using a few optional parameters. The :pattern can be used to change the log message format. The :date_pattern can be used to change how timestamps are formatted.

log = Logging.logger(STDOUT,
          :pattern => "[%d] %-5l : %m\n",
          :date_pattern => "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%s")

See the documentation for the Logging::Layouts::Pattern class for a full description of the :pattern and :date_pattern formatting strings.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 91
def logger( *args )
  return ::Logging::Logger if args.empty?

  opts = args.pop if args.last.instance_of?(Hash)
  opts ||= Hash.new

  dev = args.shift
  keep = age = args.shift
  size = args.shift

  name = case dev
         when String; dev
         when File; dev.path
         else dev.object_id.to_s end

  repo = ::Logging::Repository.instance
  return repo[name] if repo.has_logger? name

  l_opts = {
    :pattern => "%.1l, [%d #%p] %#{::Logging::MAX_LEVEL_LENGTH}l : %m\n",
    :date_pattern => '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%s'
  }
  [:pattern, :date_pattern, :date_method].each do |o|
    l_opts[o] = opts.delete(o) if opts.has_key? o
  end
  layout = ::Logging::Layouts::Pattern.new(l_opts)

  a_opts = Hash.new
  a_opts[:size] = size if size.instance_of?(Fixnum)
  a_opts[:age]  = age  if age.instance_of?(String)
  a_opts[:keep] = keep if keep.instance_of?(Fixnum)
  a_opts[:filename] = dev if dev.instance_of?(String)
  a_opts[:layout] = layout
  a_opts.merge! opts

  appender =
      case dev
      when String
        ::Logging::Appenders::RollingFile.new(name, a_opts)
      else
        ::Logging::Appenders::IO.new(name, dev, a_opts)
      end

  logger = ::Logging::Logger.new(name)
  logger.add_appenders appender
  logger.additive = false

  class << logger
    def close
      @appenders.each {|a| a.close}
      h = ::Logging::Repository.instance.instance_variable_get :@h
      h.delete(@name)
      class << self; undef :close; end
    end
  end

  logger
end
path( *args, &block ) click to toggle source

Returns the lpath for the module. If any arguments are given, they will be joined to the end of the path using File.join.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 389
def path( *args, &block )
  rv = args.empty? ? PATH : ::File.join(PATH, args.flatten)
  if block
    begin
      $LOAD_PATH.unshift PATH
      rv = block.call
    ensure
      $LOAD_PATH.shift
    end
  end
  return rv
end
reopen() click to toggle source

Reopen all appenders. This method should be called immediately after a fork to ensure no conflict with file descriptors and calls to fcntl or flock.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 181
def reopen
  log_internal {'re-opening all appenders'}
  ::Logging::Appenders.each {|appender| appender.reopen}
  self
end
show_configuration( io = STDOUT, logger = 'root' ) click to toggle source

This method is used to show the configuration of the logging framework. The information is written to the given io stream (defaulting to stdout). Normally the configuration is dumped starting with the root logger, but any logger name can be given.

Each line contains information for a single logger and it's appenders. A child logger is indented two spaces from it's parent logger. Each line contains the logger name, level, additivity, and trace settings. Here is a brief example:

root  ...........................   *info      -T
  LoggerA  ......................    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerB  ...........    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerC  ...........  *debug  +A  -T
  LoggerD  ......................   *warn  -A  +T

The lines can be deciphered as follows:

1) name       - the name of the logger

2) level      - the logger level; if it is preceded by an
                asterisk then the level was explicitly set for that
                logger (as opposed to being inherited from the parent
                logger)

3) additivity - a "+A" shows the logger is additive, and log events
                will be passed up to the parent logger; "-A" shows
                that the logger will *not* pass log events up to the
                parent logger

4) trace      - a "+T" shows that the logger will include trace
                information in generated log events (this includes
                filename and line number of the log message; "-T"
                shows that the logger does not include trace
                information in the log events)

If a logger has appenders then they are listed, one per line, immediately below the logger. Appender lines are pre-pended with a single dash:

root  ...........................   *info      -T
- <Appenders::Stdout:0x8b02a4 name="stdout">
  LoggerA  ......................    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerB  ...........    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerC  ...........  *debug  +A  -T
  LoggerD  ......................   *warn  -A  +T
  - <Appenders::Stderr:0x8b04ca name="stderr">

We can see in this configuration dump that all the loggers will append to stdout via the Stdout appender configured in the root logger. All the loggers are additive, and so their generated log events will be passed up to the root logger.

The exception in this configuration is LoggerD. Its additivity is set to false. It uses its own appender to send messages to stderr.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 461
def show_configuration( io = STDOUT, logger = 'root', indent = 0 )
  logger = ::Logging::Logger[logger] unless ::Logging::Logger === logger

  logger._dump_configuration(io, indent)

  indent += 2
  children = ::Logging::Repository.instance.children(logger.name)
  children.sort {|a,b| a.name <=> b.name}.each do |child|
    ::Logging.show_configuration(io, child, indent)
  end

  self
end
version() click to toggle source

Returns the version string for the library.

# File lib/logging.rb, line 364
def version
  @version ||= File.read(path('version.txt')).strip
end
