Trying to log a missing file when repo cloned and log process starts before the Rails processes

[frank184]

Whenever the repo is cloned from Github, log files are excluded.

The Procfile is trying to tail -f a log file that does not exist yet.

If the log process starts before any of the Rails processes finish initializing, then the log file will be missing.

00:00:00 log.1         | tail: cannot open 'log/development.log' for reading: No such file or directory

The solution is to ensure the file exists before trying to read the file.

log:  touch log/${RACK_ENV:-development}.log && tail -f log/${RACK_ENV:-development}.log
