Just what I was looking for at a WTF moment. Thank you so much for posting it. I don't know how long it would have taken me to find it otherwise. Thanks for being a great member of the Rails community. It's people like you that make it thrive. (Why is it that when I'm really thanking someone it starts sounding ironic? Well, it's not.) It helped me. Just what I was looking for at a WTF moment.

This was driving me nuts. It seemed like such a simple thing, too. Little did I know that it WAS a simple thing once I found your blog. ;-) Again, thanks and cheers! Thank you, Jason!

That's super helpful. It seems like the logger is something that should just be inherited by everything, but appending "Rails." is no big deal I suppose. Thanks a ton! That’s super helpful.

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.
