See output from background task run with delayed_job

If I start my background worker for delayed_job, and then submit a job, the job runs but I do not see any terminal output from the job. How do I arrange it so I can see terminal output. I am using ruby on rails in development mode.

I want to do this when I when issue the command bin/delayed_job start.

Use the bin/rails jobs:work command in a separate terminal window. It will start processing jobs in that terminal without exiting.

If you've put breakpoints or puts statements in your job, you'll see them in the terminal.

Stop the process using CTRL-C.

Hope that helps.

As suggested by Gene and Shani, you can set up a logger by adding

Delayed::Worker.logger = Logger.new(File.join(Rails.root, 'log', 'delayed_job.log'))

to config/initializers/delayed_job_initializers.rb and then in the running process output using 

Delayed::Worker.logger.debug("Log Entry")

and then viewing the output using

tail -f log/delayed_job.log.

you can start worker on a rails console. what I do when I want to debug delayed job is

worker = Delayed::Worker.new
worker.start
