How to get Unicorn to display message parameters in the development log?

Question

I just started giving Unicorn a try (by Thin), and so far I like the output format, except that it does not show message parameters for various requests. I really like this functionality to help debug forms, etc.

Unicorn:

20:26:14 web.1 | 127.0.0.1 - - [17/Jan/2012 20:26:14] "POST /basic_simulations HTTP/1.1" 422 24259 0.4838 

What I want ... (this is from webrick):

 Started POST "/basic_simulations" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-01-17 20:27:22 -0700 Processing by BasicSimulationsController#create as HTML Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"xxxxx", "basic_simulation"=>{"x1706"=>"1"}, "commit"=>"Submit my answers"} 

Is there any configuration option or something like that where I can enable this feature? Thanks!

Answer 1

If you use Foreman with procfile, you can add this line to your Procfile:

  devlog: tail -f log/development.log 

and he will put the development log in a terminal window, for example webrick.

Add this to your config / application.rb file:
