In transportOptions I'm Not able generate logs.txt file about react-native-logs HOT 7 CLOSED

nvm, I just lack understanding of android in general.
The file does get created, just not in a place when the user can access it from the gui.
@codemap01 in case of RNFS the default path is /data/user/0/com.yourapp/files. You can access it via android studio > View > Tool Windows > Device File Explorer

@shahanshah87 I have searched all hidden files in the Android folder of File Manager but it's not visible to me so how can I change my path? can you share with code example.

from react-native-logs.

console.log(RNFS.CachesDirectoryPath);
console.log(RNFS.ExternalCachesDirectoryPath);
console.log(RNFS.DownloadDirectoryPath);
console.log(RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath);
console.log(RNFS.ExternalDirectoryPath);
console.log(RNFS.ExternalStorageDirectoryPath);
console.log(RNFS.TemporaryDirectoryPath);

Output:

 LOG  /data/user/0/com.seedao.app/cache
 LOG  /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seedao.app/cache
 LOG  /storage/emulated/0/Download
 LOG  /data/user/0/com.seedao.app/files
 LOG  /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.seedao.app/files
 LOG  /storage/emulated/0
 LOG  /data/user/0/com.seedao.app/cache

So RNFS.ExternalCachesDirectoryPath is the best choose!

Following is my code:

import {logger, consoleTransport, fileAsyncTransport} from 'react-native-logs';
import RNFS from 'react-native-fs';

const config = {
  transport: __DEV__ ? consoleTransport : fileAsyncTransport,
  severity: __DEV__ ? 'debug' : 'error',
  transportOptions: {
    colors: {
      info: 'blueBright',
      warn: 'yellowBright',
      error: 'redBright',
    },
    FS: RNFS,
    filePath: RNFS.ExternalCachesDirectoryPath,
    fileName: 'logs_{date-today}.log',
  },
};

const log = logger.createLogger(config);

export {log};

so I can find the log files in my FileManger easily.

I'm experiencing the same issue using the configuration from the docs.

@Rankarusu Thanks, I'm able to see the logs.txt file in Android studio Device File Explorer but In my real (physical )device I'm not able to see this logs.txt file so how can able to see this file in my device?

@codemap01 search in Android folder of File Manager or try changing the path.

I added a demo file (demo/ComponentReadLogsRN.tsx) for implementing a simple component to display log files in a React Native app, it might be helpful for you.
