logging

[Michael Guterl]

Delayed::Job logs to RAILS_ROOT/log/delayed_job.log, however, I cannot
figure out where this is actually set.

Can anyone explain?

Best,

file.reopen File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'log', 'delayed_job.log'), 'a+'

All that does is reopen the file. How does logger know to use it?

Am I missing something obvious?

After the process daemonizes, any file pointers that were open are redirected to log/delayed_job.log. That will redirect the rails logger and $stdout/$stderr. Not the prettiest solution, but it works.

Thanks for explaining this Brandon, I really appreciate it.
