BUG: Vensim (macOS) shouldn't write error to user home dir

[Travis]

Every time I run Vensim and error log gets created in my home directory. Vensim is the only app that does this. It isn't the correct place to write error logs. Please have it write to the correct directory.

What would the correct directory be?

/etc/system.log ?

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/os/logging

That page seems right. It should be in the same place that all macOS apps write their logs, so they can be view in /Utilities/Console.app.

I think we can't implement the system logging easily because it's not a cross-platform API. But we could easily write to the legacy location /etc/system.log .

Is the logging system you're using part of wxWidgets?

I've had a mylog() function that is #ifdef'd differently based on platform, calling different system logging functions when compiled. Not sure how many layers you're working with though.
