Question #132445 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/132445
Alex Nilsson posted a new comment: The write to file feature in sikuli seems to be a little buggy, I tried to make my script put different stuff in a log txt file. (To start out with, I just had sikuli open a notepad and paste the text i needed in, but that's a little clumsy.. :-)) The first time it worked ok, but the text only appeared about half the time thereafter, I played around with it and sometimes the text came after a minute, but after the script itself was done running...And sometimes nothing at all got written to the file.. Tried creating a new file, with a new name every time my_file=file(my_dir + filename + ".txt", "w") and appending to an existing my_file=file(my_dir + "mynewfile.txt", "a"), but nothing worked consistently.. The text file itself was in use, (even after the script stopped..) I killed the program and that freed the logfile, so I'm guessing the file.close or the my_file.write doesn't work as advertised.. Anyhows, I made a workaround for windows and made an account here to share it with you guys, hoping to give a bit back to the community, since several of, especially RaiMans, answers and examples ( Thank you! :-) ) has helped me out quite a bit. import datetime #To get a random filename for each logfile, I use the time in the filename itself.. <My script runs here and could for instance set the variables app = "Office 2010 install" and pcnavn = "xppcname23bn1t"> #log logSti = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\local user\\Desktop\\addInsSekuli\\logs\\" #define the path to ones logfiles logFilNavn = datetime.datetime.now().strftime(app + "@" + pcnavn + "@" + "%H%M%S.txt") #sets the filename sisse_log=file(logSti + logFilNavn, "w") #create the file sisse_log.close # close the file/handles to the file. The result is a file named: Office 2010 install@[email protected] where 121716 is the current time, for example 12:17:16. (You can include %d%m%y in the file if you want date, month and year in the name, to make an unique filename, though I prefer just the time, since no user orders the same software ) Now instead of having one big logfile, you have many small ones in a dir, so you can sort 'em directly in windows explorer, by name or date modified.. :-) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is an answer contact for Sikuli. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
