How do I log output to file? about morgan HOT 5 CLOSED

Hm, that seems to work for me just fine. I would try two things:

1. Provide an absolute path for the fs.createWriteStream to be sure it is using the same file you are expecting.
2. Can you provide a full app that reproduces the issue? It could be caused by something you have in your app not displayed above, maybe?

Hi Doug, thanks for the reply.

I've changed to absolute path (I think), but still no diff. I'm using fullstack-angular-generator as a base. Morgan already comes with, and is set in this file:

https://github.com/Findiglay/vetstodo/blob/master/server/config/express.js

The log is being created here, but remains empty: https://github.com/Findiglay/vetstodo/blob/master/access.log

Although as mentioned I see the 'common' flags in my console.

Cheers,

@Findiglay any reason why the repository has {flags: 'w'} instead of {flags: 'a'}?

from morgan.

@dougwilson that flag should be valid if the file has already been created I understand,

see https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_createwritestream_path_options

I can confirm this is a Windows 8 issue, the same code is working fine on iOS. I'm happy to close this as it may be an irregular issue.

from morgan.

Gotcha. I run Windows 7 and it writes to the file just fine as well, which is why I was asking. I'm also using Node.js 0.10.x if that helps, as I don't know which version of Node.js you're using (because, perhaps it's a Node.js bug?).
