Disable Rails SQL logging in console
Here's a variation I consider somewhat cleaner, that still allows potential other logging from AR. In config/environments/development.rb :
config.after_initialize do
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Rails.logger.clone
ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level = Logger::INFO
end
To turn it off:
old_logger = ActiveRecord::Base.logger
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = nil
To turn it back on:
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = old_logger
This might not be a suitable solution for the console, but Rails has a method for this problem: Logger#silence
ActiveRecord::Base.logger.silence do
# the stuff you want to be silenced
end
