RailsLogVisualizer now for Windows.

I got around and fixed the Windows specific issue as Philipp pointed out. I also had to take into account the File.lineEnding in order to make sure the parsing works on OSX and Windows.

If you haven’t yet, first download the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR)

Then download: RailsLogVisualizer0.6.air

After the log file is loaded the parsing takes some time and the UI doesn’t yet provide feedback for the progress. See be a little patient.

Please let me know how the RailsLogVisualizer works for you!

Enjoy!
Daniel.

    Good work, Daniel! I’ve enjoyed your flex version. The windows version works just as great.

    Just updated to the air version – works great! Are you still developing this; planning on adding more features?

  3. Daniel Wanja 2 months later:

    Hi Bob,

    I am not actively developing it as the current version provides me with what I need. I do have lot’s of ideas on how to make it more useful, but the reality is that I have other priorities to the end of the year. Did you have any specific feature in mind?

    Kind regards,
    Daniel.

    Are you planning on releasing the source code? I would be quite interested in learning from your work.

    You can check out the source code of an “old” version of the RailsLogVisualizer on rubyforge at http://rubyforge.org/projects/railslogvislzr/. Most of the analysis code is the same than for the current RailsLogVisualizer. The main difference is that log file parsing code is now written in AS3 instead of Rails. Before making the source code of the current version ‘open’ I wanted to perform some cleanup…but didn’t get to it yet.

    Daniel, great work so far! I had a tough time getting started. Then, I realized I was trying to work with a different format of log file. Recently, I converted a few projects to be compatible with Rails Analyzer Tools via the topfunky approach. Do you have any plans on building compatibility with this reformatted log file?

  8. Daniel Wanja 4 months later:

    Hi Karsten,

    I like his approach and the integration with Mint. That’s pretty cool. But I don’t plan to add compatibility with the Hodel3000CompliantLogger for now. I will recompile the tool to the latest version of AIR soon.

    When I try opening this with Air Beta 3 on Mac, it says the AIR file is corrupt. Was this compiled for Beta 2?

  10. Daniel Wanja 5 months later:

    he latest version of the log visualizer is for Beta 2 and can be found at http://myspyder.net/tools/railslogvisualizer/. I will need to recompile a couple of my Flex application and will create a new blog entry on this blog once done.
