From: phil swenson Date: 2005-12-20T09:39:17+09:00 Subject: conflict between active record and Log4R I recently added some activerecord code to a stand-alone application that uses Log4R. I'm getting some weird conflicts. The code below demonstrates one of the problems I see... if you remove the line : "require_gem 'activerecord'" the code executes fine. If you have it in the code you will get the following error: C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/log4r/logger.rb:109:in `outputters=': undefined method `clear' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from C:/dev/src/scratch/scratch.rb:11 Here is the code: require 'log4r' include Log4r require "rubygems" require_gem "activerecord" #require "database/active_storage" # create a logger named 'mylog' that logs to stdout mylog = Logger.new 'mylog' puts mylog.inspect mylog.outputters = Outputter.stdout # Now we can log. def do_log(log) log.debug "This is a message with level DEBUG" log.info "This is a message with level INFO" log.warn "This is a message with level WARN" log.error "This is a message with level ERROR" log.fatal "This is a message with level FATAL" end do_log(mylog) mylog.level = ERROR mylog.error "BLAHBLAH" Any insight on what's going on here? phil -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
