How to make Ranorex log to the current working directory?
Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2021 3:53 pm
Hello
By default, Ranorex writes log files to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ranorex\Logs , i.e. the log files from Ranorex Studio and those from testsuite executions. For internal reasons, I need to have the logs from testsuite executions in the current working directory of the testsuite. So, following the advice from older posts, I changed 2 lines in all 4 nlog.config files which I found in the Ranorex installation dir like this:
Original:
fileName="${specialfolder:folder=MyDocuments}/Ranorex/Logs/${processname}.log"
Edited:
fileName="${currentdir}/${processname}.log"
However, after rebuilding my solution and running my testsuite, the logs are still written to the original directory. Does anybody have an idea what's wrong? Maybe the nlog version used by Ranorex does not support ${currentdir} ... ?
Thank you!
