Logger is a simple but powerful logging utility to output messages in your Ruby program.

Logger has the following features:

• Print messages to different levels such as info and error
• Auto-rolling of log files
• Setting the format of log messages
• Specifying a program name in conjunction with the message

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'logger'

And then execute:

$ bundle 

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install logger 

require 'logger' # Create a Logger that prints to STDOUT log = Logger.new(STDOUT) log.debug("Created Logger") log.info("Program finished") # Create a Logger that prints to STDERR error_log = Logger.new(STDERR) error_log = error_log.error("fatal error")

After checking out the repo, run the following to install dependencies.

$ bin/setup 

Then, run the tests as:

$ rake test 

To install this gem onto your local machine, run

$ rake install 

To release a new version, update the version number in lib/logger/version.rb, and then run
