Why don't LOG files work as described under DEBUGGING ?

Jeff over 4 years ago

I am using Eclipse.

I select Build for Device Wizard

I do not check the box that says "Build release version of the project"

I build and get a .PRG file

Copy that file to /GARMIN/APPS

Go to /GARMIN/APPS/LOGS and create a text file APPNAME.TXT (with my app name that matches the .PRG file).

I run the app on the watch, reconnect the watch to my computer, and look at the contents of APPNAME.TXT.

Nothing... empty, yet when I run the app in Eclipse using the simulator, the Sys.println() output appears in the console as expected.

Can anyone tell me what the trick is to getting text output to go into a log file as described under Basic Debugging ????

Thanks. It's not a store installed WF, but a sideloaded one that somehow persisted under its old name, even though I copied over a new PRG. I switched to another WF, deleted all the traces of it on my watch in GARMIN\APPS + subfolders and restarted the watch. Then I copied the new PRG over and it looks like it's keeping its new name now :)

If you use the same appid with two apps with different names, that will also confuse things. The watch (and sim) track things by appid and not the name.
