possible to access sensible logger inside class?

[josh-m-sharpe]

Think my question is more about scoping in a sinatra app, but here goes. When hitting /bad, we get a NameError that logger is undefined inside Work.do_work. Which I suppose makes sense, we didn't pass logger in to the do_work method.

I've tried the likes of defining a global logger var $logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) and passing that to sensible_logging -- and the using $logger inside my Work class - but then I don't get the benefits of sensible_logging. That just produces raw, untagged logging.

So my question is - any way to allow logger to be globally available AND have the benefits of sensible logging?

Cheers - thanks!

class Work
  def self.do_work
    logger.info 'whatever'
  end
end

class App < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::SensibleLogging

  sensible_logging(logger: Logger.new($stdout))
  configure :production do
    set :log_level, Logger::INFO
  end

  get '/bad' do
    Work.do_work
    'tldr'
  end

  get '/good' do
    logger.info 'works fine'
  end
end

I added this hackery which allows my in-class logging to work, but seems hackeryish.

  before do
    $logger ||= logger
  end
