rails - Redirecting console output to a file
A quick one-off solution:
irb:001> f = File.new('statements.xml', 'w')irb:002> f << Account.find(1).statements.to_xmlirb:003> f.closeCreate a JSON fixture:
irb:004> f = File.new(Rails.root + 'spec/fixtures/qbo/amy_cust.json', 'w')irb:005> f << JSON.pretty_generate((q.get :customer, 1).as_json)irb:006> f.close
You can use override $stdout to redirect the console output:
$stdout = File.new('console.out', 'w')You may also need to call this once:
$stdout.sync = trueThis will redirect all output to the file. If you want to temporarily redirect the output make sure that you store the original value of $stdout so you can change it back.
Apart from Veger's answer, there is one of more way to do it which also provides many other additional options.
Just open your rails project directory and enter the command:
rails c | tee output.txttee command also has many other options which you can check out by:
man tee
