“Is there a way to get better access to the logs in Heroku?”

heroku logs only displays the last 100 lines; This isn’t even enough for the full stack trace of the last error in many cases. One team is having problems using the ExceptionLogger plugin as well. Hoptoad might resolve this somewhat. We’re really looking for a heroku logs –tail, which doesn’t exist.

Interesting Things

• RubyMine has the handy feature of showing your test failures while the test suite is still running. Unfortunately, should you try to click on a failed test to see the output, RM has a nasty habit of stealing your window to continue showing the output of the current running test. No more. You can click the little gear on the upper right corner of the left testing pane. From there you can uncheck “Track Running Test”.
• The new RubyMine EAP has a bug where you lose your current indentation when you hit enter twice. A fix is on the way.
• jQuery will sometimes execute the contents of script tags embedded in HTML before you attach then to the DOM. This occurs when doing a wrap or a replace, and might happen other times too.
• Tonight is the SFRuby meetup. Rumor has it there will discussions of agile over soft serve ice cream.
