Log to file

How do I log to a file? This is imperative for debugging purposes yet it seems impossible.

Start the bot in debug mode from the command line and pipe to a file:

java -jar "C:\Users\Username\Desktop\OSBot 2.4.107.jar" -debug (rest of params) > log_file.txt

Well I believe I answered the same question a while ago, I can't seem to find the thread however.

 

Also an alternative solution would be to override the log method in the MethodProvider class (which your Script extends) to write to a file instead.

That's what I tried however it doesn't seem to allow any type of file IO. 

 

    @[member='Override']
    public void onStart() {
        try {
            out = new FileOutputStream(new File(System.getProperty("user.home"), "osmodlog.txt"));
            logging = true;

        } catch (Throwable e) {
            log(e);
        }
    }

out would still == null during onLoop with no exception thrown. weird but not for osbot lol

You can only write files in the data directory, which can be retrieved using this method:

It allows it except it needs to be in c:/users/yourname/osbot/data

Also explv provided the method for it from the api :p
