Replace Console Logging with a File
-
@LaFayette On my Windows10 the triplea.log file is - as usual - in the TripleA installation folder (22477). I use custom installation folders however.
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.
-
For reference, I am a default installer.
-
@Panther 'As usual' surprises me as the log file is new. Is this the installation log file? Sorry to be a bit confused, is 'as usual' referring to the log file being written to a usual location?
Could you share the first dozen lines of that log file @Panther or let us know if it looks like an application log or an installation log?

@LaFayette
Sorry for the confusion. I am used to the fact that the enginge creates log-files in the installation directory. I was referring to the error.log file.These are the first lines of the triplea.log-file:

Thanks @Panther , that is the application log file, that is the one we were looking for!
Okay, is it the case that (?):
- if you install TripleA to the default folder, it does not generate a log file,
- if you install TripleA to a custom location, then it does?
-
It looks like. On my system the installer wants to install into "C:\Program Files\TripleA".
I am using "C:\Games\TripleA" instead.C:\Program Files\ is a somehow restricted system directory.
-
Yes C:\Program Files\TripleA is the default
C:\Program Files\ is a somehow restricted system directory.
Yes Windows tries to protect itself. -
It sounded like if an application were to try to write to program files then the file would be redirected to the appdata folder. It sounds like this was perhaps misadvertised and instead. @TheDog , if you install to your home folder, I presume you would see the log file show up, would you mind verifying that?
-
Installed latest 2.6.22481 in my home folder, yes it is there.
A few lines from it

It looks like we indeed need to specify a users home folder explicitly when writing files on windows 10 or the file write will fail.
This is a bit disappointing as it was hoped that the file would either land in the installation folder of TripleA or be written to a default app-data location automatically.
Be what it may, it should be possible to write the log to users home folder into the 'triplea' folder.

@LaFayette Dont forget to add triplea.log to the list of files to uninstall.
