Cannot load such file -- papertrail/search_client (LoadError) about papertrail-cli HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi Vladimir,

I think there may be some confusion. In order to use the Heroku addon, your Rails app does not need (and shouldn't have) the Papertrail gems in its Gemfile.

The papertrail/papertrail-cli gems are meant to be installed on your workstation(s) as a way to tail and search the logs. They aren't needed to generate the log messages.

Separately, if you're using the Heroku addon, you may want to try the Heroku plugin for querying and searching logs. It adds a heroku pt:logs command. However, the plugin is also meant to run on local workstations, outside of your Rails app.

Please let me know if I've misunderstood the problem or I can help get any of these working. Thanks,

Troy

Troy,

You are right. I've installed not only the addon, but also the Heroku
plugin into my Heroku application. I thought they are both required, mostly
because of confusing instructions at https://addons.heroku.com/papertrail

I removed Heroku plugin, and now I can see my logs after 'heroku
addons:open papertrail". Great! :-)

Thanks,
Vladimir Yartsev

Hi Vladimir,

Glad to hear that this was it, and thanks for the suggestion about making the wording clearer. I just edited the intro text in 2 places:

• removed the plugin install command on https://addons.heroku.com/papertrail, and instead made the link more obvious in the paragraph description
• moved the plugin to its own top-level docs section

Check out https://addons.heroku.com/papertrail and see what you think. I'd welcome any more edits or other information you would have found useful here. Thanks,

Troy,

Thanks, it's much more clear now. I even tried heroku plugin and 'heroku
pt:logs' worked for me.

PS: the 'Bookmark' feature (i.e. an URL like https://api.heroku.com/myapps//addons/papertrail:
) is especially useful in my application. Thanks for that.

Thanks,
Vladimir Yartsev

Troy,

the feature that I really missing in Heroku addon is providing a query
string along with the bookmark url, e.g.:

https://api.heroku.com/myapps//addons/papertrail:?q=some_query

When I used this feature outside of Heroku, I just added ?q=some_query to
the end of my URL, and I could let the user see the debug output for a
particular operation. This doesn't seem to work with Heroku, since "?q=..."
is stripped during the redirect.

Thanks,
Vladimir Yartsev

Good idea. I'm leaving this open until that is live.

Using papertrail gem in twke just doesn't work with the papertrail plugin, it fails when trying to load seach_client.

Hi Jose,

Any chance you have a traceback that you could paste or email?

Just add twke and papertrail, then run from bundle:

~/code/bot$ bundle exec twke

I just ran into this too. Doesn't look like papertrail/search_client doesn't exist anymore. Maybe a remnant of a refactor?

I was able to work around with:

gem "papertrail", :require => "papertrail/connection"

Maybe papertrail.rb could be changed to that?

Thanks for the workaround @technicalpickles. It saved us some time just now. I owe you a beverage_of_your_choice, maybe at Alligator Soul, maybe sometime in October?
