Re: [Rails-devel] Added prototype configuration UI

Stefan, No, I use a separate properties file (called my_my.properties), because my.properties is linked to Subversion so I cannot tweak it. That's why I need the -Dconfigfile option. Now I find to my dismay that log4j.properties has been split off. But for the same reason I cannot tweak log4j.properties either, so I would need an additional command-line parameter to select my specific version of log4j.properties (which, by the way, contains an absolute path to the log file). I have tried to fix that by changing Config to set the log4j.configuration system property back to the configfile setting (i.e. my_my.properties) in case configfile is set, but that didn't remove the use of log4j.properties. But that's the way I would like to have it.

So the first questions are: * What was your configured setup? Did you use specific config file or did you use the standard my.properties? * Is the 18xx.log created in the current working directory as specified in the log4j.properties. Maybe you have different settings for the log4j.properties part than in default my.properties: Short explanation: - I separated the log4j settings from all the other Rails settings, as I assume that the log4j should not be edited by the user via a GUI. I can add a command line argument, that allows to pipe in a different log4j settings file. Next questions: * In my.properties the report options are all deactivated, thus on my PC the report file is not saved. It again seems that the Further explanation on the config mechanism: * The attributes, helptext etc. of the config options are defined in data/properties.xml * Configuration settings are collected as profiles, which are still Properties objects. There is a two layer structure: Default profiles, which ship with Rails .jar (which provides standard settings for pbem and ftp play) and user profiles, which collect user adjustments of the default profiles. * (A list of) Available user and default profiles are stored in default.profiles (stored in the jar) and user.profiles (which are itself Properties objects) I have updated the repo to my current setup, which works well on my PC. Keep me updated, what is the current state for you. Sorry for the unconvience, but I think it is better to find problems early, than implementing something for a long time, which will not work on the other OSs Stefan On Saturday 17 July 2010 22:18:59 Erik Vos wrote: > Apart from the recovery error message that I mentioned earlier today, I'm > noticing a few more oddities since this morning: > > - the 18xx.log file suddenly appears in a different location than before. > > - during initialisation, the log shows an exception like: > 2010-07-17 09:44:45 DEBUG Report pathname is log/1889_01_20100717.log > (ReportBuffer openReportFile 120) > 2010-07-17 09:44:45 ERROR Cannot open file log/1889_01_20100717.log > (ReportBuffer openReportFile 126) > java.io.FileNotFoundException: log\1889_01_20100717.log (The system cannot > find the path specified) > at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) > at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source) > at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source) > at java.io.FileWriter.<init>(Unknown Source) > at rails.game.ReportBuffer.openReportFile(ReportBuffer.java:124) > > >From the above 2 points. it looks like the working directory has changed > > or > > something. > > - my.properties suddenly appears to be declared legacy (well, that must be > intentional ;) > > - I found a new file log4j.properties, which (if I understand the current > Config code right) is now mandatory to get logging started.
