Log File C:\Users\adamr\Desktop\log.txt #137

Closed claudiospizzi closed 4 years ago

Describe the Issue

In a procmon.exe trace I can see, that the Universal Automation tries to write into the following file: C:\Users\adamr\Desktop\log.txt -> Do you have a hard coded log file anywhere. Because we have no users named adamr. In general, it would be great to define a log file location for UA and UD.

Version Information

Oh by the way, that's the content of the log file:

@claudiospizzi - Nice catch. Yep. There is a hard coded path in there. I'll get that fixed and make sure you can configure it.

adamdriscoll commented 4 years ago

This has been resolved. The default logging path is now: C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation\logs

You'll be able to set the logging path to your own location using the UASettings cmdlets. 

$Settings = Get-UASettings
$Settings.LoggingFilePath = "C:\myLogs\logs.txt" 
$Settings.LogLevel = "verbose"
Set-UASettings -Settings $Settings

Just one question. I'm using an IIS hosted UA, there I start it with Start-UAServer -InProcess. I think this command will never stop until I close the AppPool. Can I somehow set the log level and path? Maybe as parameter on Start-UAServer or alternative by creating a settings object an passing it to the start?

$setting = New-UASetting
Start-UAServer -Setting $setting -InProcess
adamdriscoll commented 4 years ago

Sure. That's a good point. I'll add a\some parameter(s) to Start-UAServer so we can diagnose issues at startup.

Also note that the logging settings are stored in the UA git repo in .ua/settings.ps1
