Argh, this still isn't quite there yet. Now I can't start my app with script/console, which is convenient sometimes. Because in script/console, somehow ActiveSupport hasn't yet been loaded when it loads the environment.
So I had to add a "require 'active_support'" to my environment, and now console is happy. I hope that won't mess up anything else in the Rails load order. I had no idea I'd have to get so much into the guts of Rails just to set a custom log format. Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > Okay, I finally figured out how to get this to work.
