Log file location incorrect #726

Closed jim618 closed 8 years ago

jim618 commented 8 years ago

When the installer is used:

On a Mac the log file is in the app, called output.log (next to the executable jar)
On Windows there seems to be no sign of it.

This was fixed by an update to the Install4j installer (pushed) which was redirecting the log. Also updated the main class to be MultiBitInExecutableJar (which performs the redirection).

To retest either rebuild an installer or wait until I build some and copy them to multibit.org releases dir.

Awaiting review and closing

After using the latest installers here are the results (after a smooth installation experience):

OS X - no sign of the log (expected to find it in Application Support/MultiBit) or in a wallet directory but nothing
Windows - all good (located in Roaming/MultiBit/log as expected)

Bouncing back so you can you provide the OS X location.

for OSX it is stored as Application Support/MultiBit/log/multibit.log

Please check if you have a log directory that contains it. This is the same as previous versions - see: https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_troubleshooting.html Troubleshooting section

OK. False alarm. Turned out that I need to exercise the application more than I was doing to trigger the log write. All good now.

Closing.
