Re: [Rails-devel] Help learning the source?

[Jonathan C. <jco...@gm...>]

To close the loop, it looks like log4j.properties is a red herring... this
got me the logging I wanted:

$ git diff src/main/resources/logback.xml
diff --git a/src/main/resources/logback.xml b/src/main/resources/logback.xml
index e084235..7020a75 100644
