The intention there was to remove contents from the stream handler from previous runs when it was running as a service behind a web server. It turns out that those lines don't work on Linux or Windows - on those platforms, this stream is not seekable and causes safedata_validate to crash.
I'm not 100% sure what is going on here but the easiest solution is simply to retire those two lines, which should fix the issue, and then fix repeated log entries if that re-emerges in practice.
The code for
sdv.logging.StreamCounterHandler.resetcurrently does this:https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/safedata_validator/blob/177abd5ef793979972396cc8e018c11712d4c89d/safedata_validator/logger.py#L88-L89
