Thank you for having a look at it.This is surprising that it is not working for me.This is the problem I can see :There are two 'print' 'addMessage' in the script- The name and directory of the logfile I want to create- The actual log handlers base filearcpy.AddMessage("my log file name : "+str(outputFileLog))
print ("my log file name : "+str(outputFileLog))and for handler in logger.handlers:
print ("my log file handler : "+handler.baseFilename)When I run this from python IDLE my two prints appear in the console and they match each other, which is what I want :>>>
my log file name : C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\scratch\WebMap_f4ccc4d1-00c3-11e3-835e-123142ff4c42.log
I'm getting here
my log file handler : C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\scratch\WebMap_f4ccc4d1-00c3-11e3-835e-123142ff4c42.log
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>>
my log file name : C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\scratch\WebMap_0e69ed9e-00c4-11e3-840d-123142ff4c42.log
I'm getting here
my log file handler : C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\scratch\WebMap_0e69ed9e-00c4-11e3-840d-123142ff4c42.log
>>>
It means a new log file is created each time.However each time I run it from the toolbox graphic interface, a new file handler pointing to the correct logfile is created but previous ones are not released and logs are written in all of them (see attachment).When I publish it to the server, not even new logs are created, the geoprocessing service just keep writing in the first log generated the first time the service started. Could it be related to the way logs are managed in ArcGIS, I saw this in the ArcGIS Server documentation that looks really similar to the problem I'm experiencing :[HTML]By default, the log files are written to <installation_location>\server\user\log on every machine. Each time ArcGIS Server restarts, new log files are created, and the server will continue to write messages to those log files until they reach the maximum log size.[/HTML]Here is my code :import arcpy, uuid, os, logging
from arcpy import env
env.overwriteOutput = True
outputDir = arcpy.env.scratchFolder
outputName = 'WebMap_{}'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
outputLogName = outputName + r".log"
outputFileLog = os.path.join(outputDir, outputLogName)
arcpy.AddMessage("my log file name : "+str(outputFileLog))
print ("my log file name : "+str(outputFileLog))
def createLogger(logFile):
arcpy.AddMessage("I'm getting here")
print ("I'm getting here")
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
for handler in logger.handlers:
arcpy.AddMessage("my log file name : "+handler.baseFilename)
print ("my log file handler : "+handler.baseFilename)
handler=[]
handler = logging.FileHandler(logFile)
handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)
for handler in logger.handlers:
arcpy.AddMessage("my log file name : "+handler.baseFilename)
print ("my log file handler : "+handler.baseFilename)
return logger
logger = createLogger(outputFileLog)
logger.info("I'm created")
del logger
I'm afraid I will have to write logs on a plain text file...
