java.util.logging.FileHandler throws NoSuchFileException

Question

I tried to enable simple logging for my TCP Server. For this purpose I thought that java.util.logging would do its job fine.

Here is the code that I use to configure my log file:

System.setProperty("java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format", "[%1$tF %1$tT] [%4$-7s] [%3s] %5$s %n");

    try {
        FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler(System.getProperty("user.dir") +
                                                "/log/RemasteredServer_%u.log", false);
        fileHandler.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
        Logger.getGlobal().addHandler(fileHandler);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(1);
    }

    logger = Logger.getLogger(ServerMain.class.getName());

When I try to run this I get the following exception:

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: C:\Users\samue\log\RemasteredServer_0.log.lck

I already tried different patterns but none of them worked. Thanks for help!

Edit: I wouldn't know why this should be a problem but I use gradle to build and run the server

Answer 1

Ok, I expected that the FileHandler would create the directories to the log file, creating the log folder myself solved the problem, I'm sorry!
