Saving trace output to file

[NateDog]

on a zone by zone basis, the ability to write all trace output to a specific file would be very handy. certainly not a high priority, but a nice to have item for the wish list.

You have the ability to write to files using _server.writeFile();
writing a trace function would be really simple

Code: Select all

function traceToFile(text) {
var date = new Date();
// format your date here like for example
yourDate = "30/06/2006  14:30:21";
text = yourDate + " - " +text;
_server.writeFile(_server.getCurrentZone().getName()+".log", text, true);
}
// then you call it like
traceToFile ("some text");

It will write to a .log file with the name of the current zone, the message passed as a parameter along with the date and time when the trace was called.

There's also the logger object that can be used to trace debug data to the SFS standard logger, which also saves in the log files.

Check our ServerSide documentation

yeah - i guess i can go through and do a massive search/replace of "trace(" to "traceToFile(" ... i was just looking for a lazy solution
