'log_file' Setting Overview

There are two options or error reporting you can set in Lycia LowCode:

To enable reporting to the log files, use the log_file setting and provide the path to the log file.

Note: This setting has to be used in pair with the startlog() function.

If log_file is not set, the error information will be displayed on the screen only.

Specifying the Log File

Note: Before proceeding, get acquainted with the Settings Levels section of LyciaLowCode Settings page (the concept of levels is essential for configuring multiple interactions and the multitable support).

The definitions like LET <setting_variable>.<setting_name> = <value> refer to the InteractForm_Settings level, while LET <setting_variable>.views["<db_table_name>"].<setting_name> = <value> refers to the View level.

This setting can be defined for:

InteractForm_Settings level: Yes

View level: No

Setting format:

<InteractForm_Settings>.log_file STRING

Example:

LET <InteractForm_Settings>.log_file = "../logs/error_log.log"

<InteractForm_Settings> here is the name for the settings variable you assign, and "../logs/error_log.log" is a path to the log file of your choice.

Note: Alternatively, you can specify this setting in JSON array in .fm2 form file by the following example: Defining Settings in .fm2 Form File.
