Chief Delphi - Outputing files to the PC with ofstream in Autonomous

In by Test function, I have the following code to output gyro values. I was wanting to record values every 10 miliseconds and save them to a file to plot, where I would experiment with different PID values.

Code:

void Test()

{

        static const double Kp = 0.03;

        gyro->Reset();

        std::ofstream file("gyro.txt");

        while(true)

        {

                double angle = gyro->GetAngle();

                static int revolutions = 0;

                if(file.is_open())

                {

                        file << revolutions << '\t';

                        file << -angle * Kp << '\n';

                        SmartDashboard::PutString("Error: ", " ");

                }else

                {

                        SmartDashboard::PutString("Error: ", "Cannot load file");

                }

                Wait(0.01);

                revolutions++;

        }

        file.close();

}

The problem is file.is_open() always returns false. Is there something else I need to do to get files to be created?
