Affected Build(s)

Tested on the latest commit (d59ea25), 2120-rc1, and 2120-rc3.

Description of Issue

When running Azahar for the first time, the log/ directory is not created and azahar_log.txt is not written to. Only after reopening the emulator will a log file be generated. This is not ideal because this may result in important error information being lost.

I suspect this is due to the fact that the azahar-emu/ directory itself is not created initially until another action is performed (e.g., installing a CIA, launching a title, etc.).

Expected Behavior

The log file should be generated on first run.

Reproduction Steps

1. Remove the current Azahar directories (simulate first run).

rm --recursive ~/.local/share/azahar-emu/ ~/.config/azahar-emu/

2. Run Azahar.

azahar &

3. Select "No" when prompted to migrate from Citra/Lime3DS.

Before doing anything else, azahar-emu/ is not created:

$ ls --directory ~/.local/share/azahar-emu/
ls: cannot access '/home/user/.local/share/azahar-emu/': No such file or directory

4. Install a CIA or run a title, then return to the initial window.

This will generate azahar-emu/.

5. Attempt to open the log directory (Help > Open Log Folder).

An error is emitted to the console:

xdg-open: file '/home/user/.local/share/azahar-emu/log/' does not exist

6. Verify that the log/ subdirectory has not been created.

$ ls --classify ~/.local/share/azahar-emu/
nand/  sdmc/  sysdata/

7. Close and reopen Azahar. Note that the log file has now been generated.

$ ls ~/.local/share/azahar-emu/log/
azahar_log.txt

Log File

Well, the issue is that there is not a log file...

azahar_log.txt
