Logging in delayed_job?

Question

I can\'t get any log output from delayed_job, and I\'m not sure my jobs are starting.

Here\'s my Procfile:

web:     bundle exec rails se

When I needed log output from Delayed Jobs, I found this question to be fairly helpful.

In config/initializers/delayed_job.rb I add the line:

Delayed::Worker.logger = Logger.new(File.join(Rails.root, 'log', 'dj.log'))

Then, in my job, I output to this log with:

Delayed::Worker.logger.info("Log Entry")

This results in the file log/dj.log being written to. This works in development, staging, and production environments.
