Is there a setting or something in the code that might be missing? I’m using the default drive station and the robot code is in LabVIEW. Up until this month, I have log files but now any new activity isn’t being logged. It isn’t even in the log folder.
I’d appreciate any advice on where to look.
New log files wouldn’t get created anywhere else, unless you have a school computer.
I have seen those do weird things with the log folder due to school server hosted directories and ghosting practices.
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\FRC\Log Files
Any chance the permissions on the log folder have changed?
Are you using an administrator account?
Can you create a new file manually in that directory?
Are there a lot of really old log files?
Have you cleaned out old log files or relocated them to another save folder?
If you want to keep the old files, try renaming the “Log Files” folder to “old”, and the DS should create a new log files folder.
There’s also a known but with non-English letters or symbols in the windows username where the DS doesn’t properly record log files. If you changed your username recently that could be a problem.
Sounds promising.
I’d be surprised if permissions changed. But I’ll check some of those possibilities if the archiving the old logs doesn’t fix it.
I figured it out. Thanks for the help.
Once I archived the folder, I saw that the new log file was timestamped wrong, with a 2010 date. Sure enough, the system clock was wrong. So I have log files but with errant dates. Also in the log viewer, they were misordered because of this.
Thanks for letting us know.
It makes sense the new files were getting lost in the clutter of old files.
P.S.
I have seen that before and one year the file naming scheme changed thereby making the new files difficult to locate amidst older log files.
