I ran across this when trying to use ActionMailer separately from rails: [09:38 AM] [bmoyles@bmoyles-mac] ~/tmp $ cat foo.rb #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''logger'' logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) logger.info ''Testing-1-2-3'' [09:38 AM] [bmoyles@bmoyles-mac] ~/tmp $ ./foo.rb I, [2006-06-13T09:38:26.171334 #11749] INFO -- : Testing-1-2-3 [09:38 AM] [bmoyles@bmoyles-mac] ~/tmp $ cat bar.rb #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''logger'' require ''rubygems'' require ''action_mailer'' logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) logger.info ''Testing-1-2-3'' [09:38 AM] [bmoyles@bmoyles-mac] ~/tmp $ ./bar.rb Testing-1-2-3 Notice how including action_mailer causes all date/priority/etc info to be stripped? Is this desired behavior? I dug through action_mailer a bit and couldn''t figure out where this was being borked... Any thoughts? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
