Logeye - a rails log gui
16
Sep
The Rails log is a very valuable resource. It contains a lot of information and its relatively easy to read.
However, I find that It doesn’t take long to get pretty sick of scrolling around, visually decoding, not to mention that the ansi covered SQL is a pain.
Logeye is my itch-scratcher to make it better and more useful. You point it at either your RAILS_ROOT or directly at a log file, and watch the requests flow past as you develop your app.

Features and problems
- In the open dialog you select
RAILS_ROOT, not the log file itself. - Double click a log entry to open the corresponding controller file in your editor (set in preferences)
- You can set window alpha, and make the windows float above other apps (set in preferences)
- The zoom + does something useful.
Upcoming Features
- filtering, searching
smarter opening.- refined log details view with visual distinction for each kind of line.
- easy copying of SQL.
- easy opening of files referred to in backtraces.
- backtrace filtering.

I was just thinking how strange it was that Rails developers love Macs, that Rails uses helpful ANSI color codes in its logs, that Console.app can't parse ANSI color codes, and that nobody'd written something like this. And then you did!
I'm not sure if 0.4 works with Rails 2.x yet, but I might play with it... problem: I have no idea how to build a RubyCocoa app. I'm new to git as well. I did a "git clone" of the source, then ran rake, and saw that it tries to use svn a few times.
Any tips on the right workflow to build this? Should I just ignore the github repository, and use the svn from Google Code? Is the Rakefile outdated?
