setEnvironment[17] FILE NAME ERROR on ]acre.openproject (first time used) #200

Closed e9gille closed 4 years ago

First time used on a new PC, acre tries to read a log file from a folder that hasn't been created ....\AppData\Local\acre\

After creating the acre folder manually, resumed execution fine, but folder is still empty. Not sure if this is still used, but it seems the folder isn't created early enough.

This is with latest build 6.0.1+263

Clearly not for first time install only, as I just downloaded 6.0.1 and I get the same problem on a trusty old machine that has been using Acre for a long time. Must be a new bug introduced.

Right. It seems ⎕NINFO requires the folder to exist 'though it doesn't seem to mind if the file doesn't.

Changing it now.

I realised I'm trying to read from the local appdata acre folder rather than the installation folder which is wherever you've chosen it to be.

The local appdata folder is where it gets created by buildWsFromSource in the build.dws if you do it yourself.

Single word change. Done.

Fixed and pushed as Acre 6.0.1+265 2019-09-06 16:35

What this does is to move the target folder from a strict 

(2 ⎕NQ'.' 'GetEnvironment' 'localappdata'),'/acre/'

to wherever you have installed acre. The default installation is the above suffixed by the folder name acreXX.X where XX.X is the Dyalog version in which the system is built - current Releases being 14.0.

This means that the default folder now moves down a level in the folder tree. If you had an acre.log file already that seems to have disappeared you will find it at the location computed above.

Acre will not attempt to write to the log unless it exists. To create it anew run ]log file or ⎕se.acre.Log 'file'.

Since Acre 6.0.0+258 2019-08-31 21:51 acre has logged the size of the log file if it exists on starting and will report it also to the session if it exceeds 1MB.
