I have a Rails app that is generating duplicate requests for every request in development. The app is running Rails 2.3.5 with my primary development machine running Ubuntu
This small workaround solved my issue. Follow these steps:
Under Rails External Libraries, Search for railties module. Go to this path: /lib/commands/server.rb
In this file comment this line, Rails.logger.extend(ActiveSupport::Logger.broadcast(console))
This command will switch off broadcasting, and just restart your rails server. You will not see any repeated logs anymore. Happy coding.
