Release Notes

All platforms - CLI: We improved how the 'getworkspacefrompath' command works!

Now, the getworkspacefrompath automation command returns a failure result if the specified path is not in a workspace. It used to always return success, which made catching problems when scripting more difficult than it should have been. Sorry about that!

All platforms - Logging: We changed the default filename format of the daily rolling file appender.

It was "yyyy-MM-dd-{filename}" but now it's "{filename}.yyyyMMdd". This way we think it is easier to navigate these files using a shell with autocompletion.

We also added the option to preserve the file extension. You'll probably want to use this on Windows so that, for example, if your base filename is "logfile.txt", the generated log files will be like "logfile.yyyyMMdd.txt" instead of "logfile.txt.yyyyMMdd".

To configure this log appender, add something like the following to your "log.conf" file.

    <appender name="DebugAppender" type="Codice.LogWrapper.DailyRollingFileAppender">
        <file value="cm.debug.log.txt" />
        <maxFileCount value="3" />
        <preserveLogFileNameExtension value="true" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date %thread %property{TransactionID} %property{ClientMachine} %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
        <level value="DEBUG" /> 
        <appender-ref ref="DebugAppender" />
    </root>

This will generate files like: cm.debug.log.20200227.txt, cm.debug.log.20200228.txt and so on.

The maxFileCount property is the maximum number of files to keep on disk. The system removes the oldest files once the number of log files exceeds maxFileCount.

The preserveLogFileNameExtension property should be true if you want to preserve the extension, as discussed before.
