How to simply LOG ActiveRecord errors?

I am working with a view that is not specific to a certain table, and so
it
does not lend itself to ‘show errors for this object’. I had an
unsuccessful .save which I got past with simple logger statements but
now
I’m hitting the rescue for the code block that the save is in (though
the
save completes sucessfully).

This is getting frustrating. How do I simply dump all ActiveRecord
errors
to the development.log?

…or is there a better way to do my debugging? Currently I am editing
with
RadRails on my windows machine and uploading to my hosting ID and
testing
through a browser. If there is a more efficient way I would sure like
to
hear it!

I was using InstantRails on my windows machine but it was waaay too slow
between screen refreshes.

Thank you very much!
