location of log in production?

[ubrmensch]

Hi,

I've tried googling this but for some reason I cannot find the answer. The default location in non-production on my Mac is ~/Library/Logs/app-name. But I cannot find where the location is in production. If I package the app and run it on my Mac, do I need to set a specific file directory location, or is there a production location default? It is definitely not writing to the default location in production.

Apologies...looks like I am doing something dumb in my packaging.

I used ipcRender to figure out app.getPath('logs') and it appears the app name changes to electron-react-boilerplate from the actual name of the app in package.json when the application is packaged. I see the log file now and it is indeed in ~/Library/Logs, but just under a different the boilerplate app name.

It depends on many aspects set by the boilerplate. If the default path selection doesn't work for you case you can set custom path through the resolvePath callback. The call app.getPath('logs') isn't used by the library, so another path may be used.
