🆕 Ruby Snippets Get Logging Support with puts – Debugging Made Simple

by sampath

Workato has just taken a big step toward improving the developer experience with a subtle yet powerful update: Ruby Snippet Connectors now support puts statements for logging. This enhancement completes debugging functionality Ruby connector in Workato.

✅ Feature

  • Ruby Snippet Connectors now support puts statements.

  • All puts outputs are visible in the “Output” tab of the job history, giving developers direct access to log messages during execution.

🚀 Impact

  • Simplifies development and testing by allowing developers to log intermediate values directly within snippets.

  • Helps with quicker troubleshooting of custom Ruby logic in recipes.

  • Reduces reliance on external tools or guesswork when things don’t go as expected.

🧪 Example

ruby
puts "Input data: #{input}"

result = input["items"].map { |i| i.upcase }

puts "Processed result: #{result}"

result

These logs will appear in the job history under the “Output” tab, offering real-time insights into the snippet’s behavior.

💡 Why It Matters

Before this update, debugging Ruby Snippets meant using indirect methods or isolating errors through trial and error. With puts, you now have a simple, familiar way to log messages—making custom script development much smoother.

This update brings parity across all Workato code connectors, giving developers consistent and reliable debugging tools across the platform.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Whether you’re transforming payloads, performing calculations, or chaining custom logic in Workato, the ability to use puts for logging in Ruby Snippets is a huge win for clarity and speed. It’s a small update with a big productivity payoff.
