delayed_job not logging

Question

I cannot log messages from my delayed_job process. Here is the job that is being run.

class MyJob
  def initialize(blahblah)
    @blahblah = blahblah
    @lo

I don't see why you would set the logger in the job. When I've done this I set the worker to to use a specific file on start e.g. Logger.new("log/worker_#{worker_number}") which ensures that each worker outputs to it's own file and you don't have to worry about multiple workers writing to the same file at the same time (messy).

Also, in plain ol' ruby you can call @logger.info "logging from delayed_job".

Finally, i'm pretty sure that 'perform' is called directly by your worker and instantiated, so you can refactor to:

class MyJob
 def perform(blahblah)
  @logger.add Logger::INFO, "logging from delayed_job"
  @blahblah = blahblah
  #do stuff
 end
end
