Minor Description
My configuration uses LoggerAppenderDailyFile with a date pattern which includes seconds, the intent is to create a new log file for each error. The issue I've come across is that at each request it opens the file, then closes it (writing out the footer) without actually logging any error messages. My solution is to move the file-creation code to the time when the first log event is handled.
My pseudo-patch submission:
In LoggerAppenderFile.php
Change
public function activateOptions()
to a stub
public function activateOptions(){ }
moving the contents of activateOptions to a new function
protected function open(){
if($this->fp) return;
<code from activateOptions here>
}
where the new function is called at the start of append()
public function append(LoggerLoggingEvent $event) {
if(!$this->fp) $this->open();
<rest of function>
}
