Logging from rake tasks is broken in production environment

#543

To reproduce, create a fresh Rails project, put the attached test_logging.rake file inside /lib/tasks, and then run:

rake test_logging RAILS_ENV=production

The test_logging task calls RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info, so the logged text should appear in the production.log file, but it does not.

I've reproduced in 2.0.2 and 2.1. Other folks have reported the same problem here:

    eh? why is this a wontfix?
    I just wasted half my day trying to figure out why I wasn't getting any logs...
    Can this be overridden via the production.rb?
    If not, is my only option to run all my rake tasks in development mode?

    This is still happening. This should not be marked as "wontfix" without a good reason.

    If you come across this error, it's because you're not flushing the log output. Use this which will automatically flush the log on every log call:

    Rails.logger.auto_flushing = true
