Error Handling

[monica-muthukumaran]

Hey! I was trying to handle errors in electron-log. Scenario: If a user tries to log in an un-authorized location exception to be caught and handled accordingly.

logger.transports.file.resolvePath = () => 'C:/Users/Administrator/Logs' +\main_${Date.now()}.log logger.transports.file.resolvePath(); logger.catchErrors();

the below error is not handled by try catch aswell

Log functions shouldn't throw errors, otherwise it may break the whole app since such a call is widely used across the whole app in most cases. A custom log path should be used carefully.

Is there any alternative way atleast a one-time catch, later we could play around with flags.?

The only way is checking whether a file is writable before logger initialization.
