a = "foo"
@a = "my var"
def bark
 "woof!"

Class Method Details

.init(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Configure and include LogBuddy into Object. You can pass in any of the following configuration options:

  • :logger - the logger instance that LogBuddy should use (if not provided, tries to default to RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER, and then to a STDOUT logger).

  • <tt):log_to_stdout</tt> - whether LogBuddy should also log to STDOUT, very helpful for Autotest (default is true).

  • :disabled - when true, LogBuddy will not produce any output
