Rails 3.2.2 log files unordered, requests intertwined

Question

I recollect getting log files that were nicely ordered, so that you could follow one request, then the next, and so on.

Now, the log files are, as my 4 year old says \"a

Answer 1

Well, for me the TaggedLogging solution is a no go, I can live with some logs getting lost if the server crashes badly, but I want my logs to be perfectly ordered. So, following advice from the issue comments I'm applying this to my app:

# lib/sequential_logs.rb
module ActiveSupport
  class BufferedLogger
    def flush
      @log_dest.flush
    end
    def respond_to?(method, include_private = false)
      super
    end
  end
end

# config/initializers/sequential_logs.rb
require 'sequential_logs.rb'

Rails.logger.instance_variable_get(:@logger).instance_variable_get(:@log_dest).sync = false

As far as I can say this hasn't affected my app, it is still running and now my logs make sense again.
