I think this is a documentation bug, since the comment makes it explicit that shifting is always disabled if shift_age is 0. I submitted a pull request to update the documentation: https://github.com/ruby/logger/pull/43 . ---------------------------------------- Bug #16349: Logger shift_age of 0 disables shift_size https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16349#change-82709 * Author: bughit (bug hit) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: sonots (Naotoshi Seo) * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- shift_age is documented as: Number of old log files to keep, or frequency of rotation (daily, weekly or monthly). Default value is 0. shift_size is documented: Maximum logfile size in bytes (only applies when shift_age is a number). Defaults to 1048576 (1MB). Given the above, a shift_age of 0 should prevent the retention of old log files, but maximum size (shift_size) should still be enforced. But it's not: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/lib/logger/log_device.rb#L124 So either the behavior or the documentation is wrong. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
