Can't catch all the squirrel events in logs #134

Closed junjunruan closed 8 years ago

junjunruan commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I have handled squirrel events in my code (copy from https://github.com/electron/windows-installer), and in each squirrel event, I write some info to the a log file. Below is part of the code:

 fs.writeFileSync("logs.txt", "Installation logs:")
   ...
  const squirrelEvent = process.argv[1];
  switch (squirrelEvent) {
    case '--squirrel-install':
        fs.appendFileSync("logs.txt", "--squirrel-install");

    case '--squirrel-updated':
         ...
        spawnUpdate(['--createShortcut', exeName]);
        fs.appendFileSync("logs.txt", "--squirrel-updated");
        setTimeout(app.quit, 1000);
        return true;

    case '--squirrel-uninstall':
        fs.appendFileSync("logs.txt", "--squirrel-uninstall");
        setTimeout(app.quit, 1000);
        return true;
  }

After install/uninstall the app, I can only see logs like this, which only include uninstall event: Installation logs:--squirrel-uninstall

When look into SquirrelSetup.log, I can only see info releated to create shortcut. Program: Starting Squirrel Updater: --createShortcut=app.exe

My questions are:

  1. How to catch all the squirrel events, and write them into logs;
  2. questions about SquirrelSetup.log:   1) How SquirrelSetup.log is created?   2) What kind of info will go into this file?   3) Is it possible to catch all the squirrel events and write them to SquirrelSetup.log?

1) How SquirrelSetup.log is created?

Squirrel.Windows creates the log when Update.exe is spawned with arguments

2) What kind of info will go into this file?

Squirrel.Windows logs a lot of things to this file. Installation progress (copying files), install errors (Access Denied and other such errors), and update requests / response data.

3) Is it possible to catch all the squirrel events and write them to SquirrelSetup.log?

I'm interpreting this as "can I write custom logs to the SquirrelSetup log file". I believe the answer is no.

Hi @MarshallOfSound,

Thanks for your reply.

For question 2), I only see create shortcut logs, and didn't see other info that you mentioned above. Do you know why?

Here is my SquirrelSetup.log:

2016-08-30 10:46:48> Program: Starting Squirrel Updater: --createShortcut app.exe
2016-08-30 10:46:48> ApplyReleasesImpl: About to create shortcuts for app.exe, rootAppDir C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\app
2016-08-30 10:46:48> ApplyReleasesImpl: Creating shortcut for app.exe => C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GitHub, Inc.\app.lnk
2016-08-30 10:46:48> ApplyReleasesImpl: About to save shortcut: C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GitHub, Inc.\app.lnk (target C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\app\Update.exe, workingDir C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\app\app-5.0.0, args --processStart "app.exe")
2016-08-30 10:46:48> ApplyReleasesImpl: Creating shortcut for app.exe => C:\Users\xx\Desktop\app.lnk
2016-08-30 10:46:48> ApplyReleasesImpl: About to save shortcut: C:\Users\xx\Desktop\app.lnk (target C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\app\Update.exe, workingDir C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\app\app, args --processStart "app.exe")

For question 3), if custom logs can't written to the SquirrelSetup log file, is there any way to write it to a new file? From the example code above, I have code to write logs to log.txt file during each squirrel event. However, I can only see logs for --squirrel-uninstall event, it just ignores fs write file function inside other events. Do you know why?

Yes, you can log to a new file, personally I use Winston to do that for me and I don't have time to check your JS syntax right now 👍 . But it will work if you use the right methods. Make sure you are using the syncronous variants 👍
