I just upgraded to Ruby 1.8.3 and activesupport-1.1.1-r1. My application runs fine except that the development.log file is now just recording blank lines. I created a new empty rails application with the rails command and saw the same thing happening in the development.log file in the new application. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade to latest Ruby and Rails packages 2.Create a new rails application, delete index.html, and start webrick 3.Hit any page in the new empty application 4.Observe blank lines being appended to log/development.log Actual Results: Blank lines are recorded in development.log. Expected Results: Normal log file content. dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3 dev-ruby/activesupport-1.1.1-r1 dev-ruby/ruby-fcgi-0.8.5-r1 dev-ruby/sqlite-ruby-2.2.2 dev-ruby/activerecord-1.11.1 dev-ruby/rubygems-0.8.10 dev-ruby/rake-0.5.3 dev-ruby/actionpack-1.9.1 dev-ruby/ruby-config-0.3.1 dev-ruby/actionmailer-1.0.1 dev-ruby/actionwebservice-0.8.1 dev-ruby/rails-0.13.1 dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.5
I had the same problem once I upgraded to Ruby 1.8.3. It also affected the test.log file. I issued the following command and it fixed the problem: # gem update --source http://gems.rubyonrails.com Answer "Y" to upgrade all the rails-related packages.
I also experienced this problem. The solution given by Daniel fixed it for me too.
Created attachment 71046 [details, diff] Patch to add log lines Attached is a patch that corrects the misordering of arguments on the format_message method. It also encorporates/obsoletes the prior 1.1.1-r1 patch. More here: http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/2263
sorry -- that's a patch against dev-ruby/activesupport-1.1.1, as that's where the problem lies.
should be fixed in 1.1.1-r2
