Logs the source of execution of all queries to the Rails log. Helpful to track down where queries are being executed in your application, for performance optimizations most likely.

Install

gem install active_record_query_trace

Usage

Enable it in an initializer:

ActiveRecordQueryTrace.enabled = true

Options

---

There are three levels of debug.

1. app - includes only files in your app/ directory.
2. full - includes files in your app as well as rails.
3. rails - alternate ouput of full backtrace, useful for debugging gems.

ActiveRecordQueryTrace.level = :app # default

Additionally, if you are working with a large app, you may wish to limit the number of lines displayed for each query.

ActiveRecordQueryTrace.lines = 10 # Default is 5. Setting to 0 includes entire trace.

Output

When enabled every query source will be logged like:

  IntuitAccount Load (1.2ms)  SELECT "intuit_accounts".* FROM "intuit_accounts" WHERE "intuit_accounts"."user_id" = 20 LIMIT 1
Called from: app/views/users/edit.html.haml:78:in `block in _app_views_users_edit_html_haml___1953197429694975654_70177901460360'
 app/views/users/edit.html.haml:16:in `_app_views_users_edit_html_haml___1953197429694975654_70177901460360'
