DESCRIPTION:

log_buddy is your friendly little log buddy at your side, helping you dev, debug, and test.

SYNOPSIS:

Call LogBuddy.init to use log_buddy. It will add two methods to object instance and class level: "d" and "logger".

• The "logger" method is just a typical logger - it will use the Rails logger if its available.
• The "d" method is a special helper that will output the code in the block and its result - note that you must use the bracket block form - do…end is not supported.

EXAMPLES:

(see also examples.rb)

    a = "foo"
    @a = "my var"
    @@bar = "class var!"
    def bark
     "woof!"
    end

    d { a }      # logs "a = 'foo'"
    d { @a }     # logs "@a = 'my var'"
    d { @@bar }  # logs "@@bar = 'class var!'"
    d { bark }   # logs "bark = woof!"

REQUIREMENTS:

• Ruby 1.8.6 or JRuby (tested with 1.1RC3)

ISSUES

• Be careful you don’t depend on methods that log_buddy adds to Object in production!
• This is meant for non-production use while developing and testing —> it does stuff that is slow and you probably don’t want happening in your production environment.
• Don’t even try using this in irb.

INSTALL:

• sudo gem log_buddy
