module WithRailsLogger
def logger; Rails.logger; end
end

and then include that module into the modules/classes you are working with or even directly into Object

Object.send :include, WithRailsLogger

In gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/initializer.rb:
=====================
module Rails
def logger
if defined?(RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER)
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
else
nil
end
end
end
=================
That way you can easily set the constant (ex: in testing) without having to stub and mock Rails and #logger (in case you don't have access to them for some reason…).

But in any case, very good tip! I always used the constant, glad to know there's another way.
