Sidekiq Logging Example

To Run:

• Start rails server: rails s
• Start sidekiq: sidekiq
• Go to http://localhost:3000

Usage:

• Click on "Do Sync Job" link to run the generic logging task synchronously.
• Click on "Do Async Job" link to run the same generic logging task asynchronously via Sidekiq.

Expected/Ideal Logging Output:

• Ideally, the Rails.logger.warn statements from the generic logging task would appear in the same places, regardless of whether they are run sychronously or async via Sidekiq.

Actual Logging Output:

Sync Task:

• Rails server terminal console window shows logging statements.
• development.log file shows logging statements.

Async Task:

• Sidekiq terminal console window does NOT show logging statements.
• development.log file shows logging statements.
