MethodCallLogger

If you want to trace instances of some classes, you may think you'd like to log any method call of these classes. This library provides such tracing functionality of instance method call.

This library automatically logs any instance method call with the specified logger with debug severity.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'method_call_logger'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install method_call_logger

Set method_call_logging in the class you want to log. Set logger in @logger instance variable in iniitalize for method_call_library to access it. Don't forget to initialize @logger before any instance method is called.

@logger must have the same interface as Ruby's standard library's logger.

class SampleClass
  method_call_logging

  def initialize(logger)
    @logger = logger
  end

  def sample_method
  end

  def sample_method2(arg1, arg2, arg3)
  end
end

logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
sample_inst = SampleClass.new(logger)
sample_inst.sample_method
# D, [2019-09-19T01:25:18.518278 #2600] DEBUG -- : SampleClass#sample_method
sample_inst.sample_method2("a", 1, {b: 1})
# D, [2019-09-23T05:54:25.947357 #7911] DEBUG -- : SampleClass#sample_method2(arg1:"a", arg2:1, arg3:{:b=>1})

If you change the severity (loglevel) for some methods, specify it as an option to method_call_logging.

class SampleClass
  method_call_logging sample_method: Logger::INFO

  def sample_method
  end
end
