My solution - its a hack : put the following in your rails development space file ./config/environment.rb #at the bottom LOG = File.new("error.log", "a") def warn(s) LOG.puts(s) LOG.flush end #Then to use it in any file- warn("help me!") -matt c _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
