undefined method `broadcast_to'

[kinsomicrote]

Hello,

I have logster and redis installed in my Rails 7.1.1 app. When I start up my rails server I get the following errors;

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any hints?

[etewiah]

I also got that same error after upgrading. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I suspect it is to do with this change:

https://forum.devtalk.com/t/ruby-on-rails-v7-1-0-rc1-released/126133

I have uninstalled logster for now and hope there will be a fix soon.

[etewiah]

I wonder if people have moved on to some alternative to logster. The issue is still unresolved but doesn't seem to be generating much interest.

Also the demo is down so perhaps that too is affected:

http://logster.info/logs

[etewiah]

Thanks for looking at this @Drenmi

I've found a couple of issues in the rails repo that may be related:

rails/rails#49389

rails/rails#49518

It is not exactly clear to me though what the solution would be.

[Drenmi]

Thanks for the investigation so far, @etewiah! 🙏

Will continue looking into this.

Do you know of any alternatives?

[etewiah]

I don't know of an alternative that is as easy and convenient as this.

It is quite frustrating because I totally understand it is an open source project and no one is obliged to prioritise fixing it but I also don't know how to fix it myself ;(

@etewiah This patch works for me. Not sure if it breaks anything but I am still seeing messages logged in the UI.

config/initializers/logster_patch.rb

module Logster
  class DeferLogger
    def broadcast_to(loggers)
      puts "broadcasting to #{loggers}"
    end
  end
end

[etewiah]

@antarr , many thanks for that. I will give it a shot.

[chriscz]

I'm sure I'll be running into this one soon. I happened on this here as I've been having an issue where my logs are no longer going to stdout / stderr, and then I saw that Rails has this non-standard method on logs logger_outputs_to? (rails/rails#44800) which seems to in combination with logster only make the logs go to the development.log file.

[antulik]

my temporary workaround

# config/initializers/logster.rb

if Rails.logger.is_a?(Logster::Logger)
  Rails.logger = ActiveSupport::BroadcastLogger.new(Rails.logger)
end

[SamSaffron]

we got to fix this seems so so so so trivial ... demo is broken due to my vps ... it auto deploys and at some point I stopped maintaining it ... will see if I can sort it out.

[Flink]

The issue is now fixed (#226) 🙂
A new version has been released too (https://rubygems.org/gems/logster/versions/2.19.0), closing this issue.
