Turning logging on while fixtures load?

How do I get maximal logging while fixtures load? Or at least during the tests?

I have added this to test/test_helper.rb :-

  def logger     RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = Logger::INFO     RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER   end

so that I can use logger.info("message") in my tests, This didn't work, and neither did

  # Replace this with your real tests.   # <FIXME>Leave this till other tests work</FIXME>   def test_truth     RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = Logger::INFO     RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.debug("studen_test.test_truth")     assert trueo   end

I still get nothing logged when this runs. I'm trying to debug my fixtures which are setup with fixture_references, but I can't even get logging to work here. I'm looking for entries in the log directory where the {developer,test,server,production}.log files are, but nothing ends up in those, even though they exist.

Rails turns off logging while the fixtures are loading. To get output in the logs, you have to do a little hack of rails.

Firstly, it's probably best to do this in a frozen version of rails, then you only affect your own app.

The edit needs to be done in vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/ active_record/fixtures.rb in the method self.create_fixtures(...). Find the bit where it says ActiveRecord::Base.silence do   .... end and comment out the start and end lines of the block.

That should do the trick.

Thank you. I would never have found that without help.
