How to log a string and object at the same time in a Ruby controller?

Question

I am able to log things with things like

logger.debug "This is a logged string"

but when I try to do something like

logger.debug "This is the object: " + object_name

it doesn't like that and gives an error. How do I concatinate the object into a string and output it together with whatever I want to label that debug line?

Thanks!

try using parentheses...

You can probably do something like:

logger.debug "This is the object: #{object_name.inspect}"

Using string interpolation (with inspect) is more idiomatic.

You could use Ruby's string interpolation.

logger.debug "This is the object: #{object_name}"
