Logging not working on Win7

Jerry Thomas · Post by **Jerry Thomas** » Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:04 pm

I am trying to get script logging to work.

Machine is running Windows7 (64), Scheduler version = 12.8.

-I have enabled 'Log Progress of Macro'.
-The Log file exists.
-I have tried all 3 options 'before', 'after' and 'start and completion of step'.

The log file is in c:\users\public\public documents so it should be available.

Any suggestions?

Don't know why it's not working for you. I'm unable to replicate with an identical setup. Using Win7 x64 and v12.8 and also set my log file to:

c:\users\public\public documents\mylog.txt

Ran the macro. Log file was created and populated as expected and I could view it by clicking the log file toolbar button.

How are you running the macro? Note that if running from the command line or via a compiled macro you will need to pass the log file on the command line (/LOGFILE=) or with a compiled macro the logfile option can be compiled into it via the compiler options.

I have not compiled this yet.
I am stepping through or just running.

Ah. Logging is not active during debugging. When running/stepping in the editor you are debugging. Run it from outside the editor and logging will be active.
