Rails 3.2 silence logging deprecation warning

Question

In Rails 3.2 I get deprecation warning, when using logger.silence {}. In release note: "ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#silence is deprecated. If you want to squelch logs for a certain block, change the log level for that block."

How I can easily change log level for the block?

Answer 1

It appears that logger.silence is being replaced by simply silence:

logger.silence do
    #your silenced code here
end

becomes:

silence do
    #your silenced code here
end

At least it doesn't generate the depreciation warning anymore, and it does silence the logged output.

Answer 2

The first answer is good, but not complete. We were having issues trying to figure this one out too. silence &block has been deprecated in Rails 3, so you should use the updated syntax calling the logger directly:

Rails.logger.silence do
  # your code here...
end

For even more sweet, sweet customizability, you can pass a log level to #silence().
