# Cool little gist obtained from Leif Ringstad at his blog bitelem.com

if Rails.env.development?
  MAX_LOG_SIZE = 1.megabytes
  DEV_LOG_FILE = File.join(Rails.root, "log", "development.log")

  if File.size?(DEV_LOG_FILE).to_i > MAX_LOG_SIZE
    $stdout.puts "-----------------------------------------------------"
    $stdout.puts "Truncating development.log..."
    $stdout.puts "-----------------------------------------------------"
    File.truncate(DEV_LOG_FILE, 0)
  end
