When using logging in web2py on Windows, we are unable to delete applications unless we first stop the server.
The reason is that the app.log is considered "in use". As the uninstall happens from the admin app, I am not quite sure how best to stop the logger in the application that is being uninstalled when the "Uninstall" option is selected from admin. Anyone have any ideas on how to unistall an app that uses logging. Apparently this is only an issue on Windows because the os.unlink works on "in use" files on linux systems. Note : We have defined the location of the log files within the application directory structure so that the developers have access to the files. This is the logging code used : def get_configured_logger(name): Test = False logger = logging.getLogger(name) if (len(logger.handlers) == 0): # This logger has no handlers, so we can assume it hasn't yet been configured # (Configure logger) # Create default handler if request.env.web2py_runtime_gae: # Create GAEHandler handler = GAEHandler() else: # Create RotatingFileHandler import os formatter="%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(process)s %(thread)s %(funcName)s():% (lineno)d %(message)s" handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(os.path.join(request.folder, 'private/app.log'), maxBytes=1000000,backupCount=2) handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter(formatter)) handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logger.addHandler(handler) logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # Test entry: if Test == True: logger.debug(name + ' logger created') else: # Test entry: if Test == True: logger.debug(name + ' already exists') return logger -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
