Timber Auth Example

Timber.with_context(user_context, &block)
end

I had to also add a yield outside of the with_context block as my methods would not render:

def set_user_context
  if !current_user.nil?
    user_context = Timber::Contexts::User.new(id: current_user.id, email: current_user.email, name: current_user.full_name)
    Timber.with_context(user_context) do
      yield
    end
  end

  yield
end

@mrsweaters this is actually the correct syntax. Notice how I pass &block down. This is important because it ensures all of your logs get the user context. I've updated the example as well as our docs: https://timber.io/docs/languages/ruby/configuration/capture-user-context

def set_user_context(&block)
  if !current_user.nil?
    user_context = Timber::Contexts::User.new(id: current_user.id, email: current_user.email, name: current_user.full_name)
    Timber.with_context(user_context, &block)
  end
end

Thanks for your help!
