how2 append to a generated file? [message #1151178]

Recently, I added some logging/Errorreport functionality to my Generator.

But when I use fsa.generateFile(), the old file is purged at first.
Is there an easy way to just append to existing files?

My code looks like:
**********************************
«addLog("creating a new entry for " + modul.name)»
**********************************
// *** Collections to handle log and error messages
static Collection<String> logLines = new LinkedList();
static Collection<String> errLines = new LinkedList();
// *** utilities to handle log and error messages
def reportLog() '''
«FOR String s : logLines»
«s»
«ENDFOR»
'''
def reportErr() '''
«FOR String s : errLines»
«s»
«ENDFOR»
'''
def addLog(String str) {
logLines.add(str)
return ""
}
def addErr(String str) {
errLines.add(str)
return ""
}

/* now the main thing */
override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess fsa) {
var String scriptFileName = resource.getURI().lastSegment.toString();
var String outFileBase = scriptFileName.substring(0,scriptFileName.lastIndexOf("."));
// *** output of log and error messages
if (logLines.size() > 0) fsa.generateFile( outFileBase + '.LOG',
reportLog());
if (errLines.size() > 0) fsa.generateFile( outFileBase + '.ERR',
reportErr());
}

Hi,

i think you have to customize IFileSystemAccess so that
it works as you wish.

Thank you Christian, I will have a look into that area. Uli

Found some hints at:

Well, not quite the solution because it protects file from beeing overwritten, but seems not to append the new info. Still on the quest
