Log mongoid queries inline in rails console

Include the below text as an initializer. Name the file something like log_mongo_queries_in_rails_console.rb and place it in Rails.root/config/initializers.

# This initializer adds a method, show_mongo, when running a rails console. When active, all
# moped commands (moped is mongoid's mongodb driver) will be logged inline in the console output.
# If called again, logging will be restored to normal (written to log files, not shown inline).
# Usage:
# > show_mongo

if defined?(Rails::Console)
 def show_mongo
 if Moped.logger == Rails.logger
 Moped.logger = Logger.new($stdout)
 true
 else
 Moped.logger = Rails.logger
 false
 end
 end
 alias :show_moped :show_mongo
end
