Logging basicConfig not creating log file when I run in PyCharm?

Question

When I run below code in terminal its create a log file

import logging  logging.basicConfig(filename='ramexample.log',level=logging.DEBUG) logging.debug('This message should go to the log file') logging.info('So should this') logging.warning('And this, too') 

but when I run the same code (with different filename='ram.log') in PyCharm it's not creating any log file. Why?

import logging  logging.basicConfig(filename='ram.log',level=logging.DEBUG) logging.debug('This message should go to the log file') logging.info('So should this') logging.warning('And this, too') 

What I have to do to create a log file with PyCharm?

Answer 1

I encountered same issue and found none of the answers previously provided here would work. Maybe this issue had been solved long ago to Ramnath Reddy, but I could not find the correct answer anywhere online.

Luckily, I found a solution from a colleague's code by adding the following lines before logging.basicConfig().

# Remove all handlers associated with the root logger object. for handler in logging.root.handlers[:]:     logging.root.removeHandler(handler) 

Try and see if it helps for whomever had the same issue.

Python 3.8: A new option, force, has been made available to automatically remove the root handlers while calling basicConfig().
For example:

logging.basicConfig(filename='ramexample.log', level=logging.DEBUG, force=True)` 

See logging.basicConfig parameters:

force: If this keyword argument is specified as true, any existing handlers attached to the root logger are removed and closed, before carrying out the configuration as specified by the other arguments.
