Messages not sending while using rails runner

[kenanokeefe]

Hello,

The simple method below sends the message while in rails console, but does not send while using rails runner.

  def logstash_test
    logger = LogStashLogger.new(type: :tcp, host: 'localhost', port: 5231, error_logger: Logger.new(STDOUT))
    logger.info(test:Time.now)
    p logger
  end

When printing the logger instance via rails runner, its seems that the message is pending:

@buffer_state={:pending_items=>{nil=>["{\"test\":\"2016-08-09T12:58:43.879-04:00\",\"@timestamp\":\"2016-08-09T12:58:43.879-04:00\",\"@version\":\"1\",\"severity\":\"INFO\",\"host\":\"localhost\"}\n"]}`...

This may simply be an issue with rails runner / spring, but thought i'd post it here. Thx!

Hi,

Thanks for the report. What's going on here is that your logger is buffering incoming messages. By default, messages are flushed every five seconds. If you exit the program before the flush happens, the buffer is lost. You can reproduce this in the rails console by exiting immediately after calling that method.

This is fixed in #92

The fix has been released in 0.19.0.
