logs folder is not created

[mycrono]

Hello,

Thank you for creating this useful app!

I am running crontab-ui on linux Mint with Mate.

Steps:

• After installing I created a new job and pressed "run now" but no logs were written.
• So I ran the generated command found in "crontab -l" in a terminal and got the error bellow.
• After creating the logs folder manually, everything works fine.

Error from running the generated cron job in terminal:

bash: /home/me/crontab-ui/logs/AFVVL1WuGlk8wrQ1.log: No such file or directory
bash: /home/me/crontab-ui/logs/AFVVL1WuGlk8wrQ1.log: No such file or directory
bash: /home/me/crontab-ui/logs/AFVVL1WuGlk8wrQ1.stdout.log: No such file or directory
bash: /home/me/crontab-ui/logs/AFVVL1WuGlk8wrQ1.stdout.log: No such file or directory

How I installed and ran crontab-ui:

  # Install Crontab UI
  npm install -g crontab-ui
  # Make a local database directory
  mkdir $HOME/crontab-ui
  # Start crontab-ui on port 9000
  CRON_DB_PATH=$HOME/crontab-ui PORT=9000 crontab-ui

Can you create the logs folder /home/me/crontab-ui/logs ?

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, after creating the /home/me/crontab-ui/logs folder using mkdir with the same terminal/permissions as when installing crontab-ui the error disappeared and the logs where written to /home/me/crontab-ui/logs.

Also before creating the logs folder manually I went through the terminal output of the running crontab-ui server and found no errror message that the logs folder could not be created.

Since this is probably a rare case it might be enough to throw an error message when you open the logs in crontab-ui and the logs folder does not exist saying that the user should create it manually?
