❔ File.WriteAllText(string, string?) and similar fail to write to file

Hi, im working on a Logger library and im trying different ways to implement logging to a file, but no matter what i tried (File.WriteAllText, File.WriteAllTextAsync, File.Append, FileStream.Write) they all end creating a file, but not writing to it


the function for writing text to a file is as follow

private void File_WriteText(string ToPrint)
        {
            File.WriteAllText(LogFile, ToPrint);
        }

LogFile and File_WriteText are both members of the OLog class, LogFile is a public string containing a path to the log file, by default it is log,
if i missed any information do ask for more, the end result will most likely be open source anyways

OS:: Arch Linux
.NET:: 7.0/6.0 (both have the same issue)

You're probably looking in the wrong place for the file. There's very little that can go wrong with WriteAllText

eventually you can use sysinternal's tool to look where your program is writing
but seems overkill for this

i can see the file get created it just does not have any content

Run the debugger to ensure the string you're trying to write actually contains something?

yeah it contains something

is there an exception being annihilated?

how would i check?

what tool is that?

filemon, which has been replaced by process monitor

good to know this exists thanks

only on windows tho'

yeah ik

how writing a file on a local drive can take so much to debug
