Missing app.txt file-

There is a bug in the permissions system. The system wont let the code create the file. I have submitted a bug on this. You basically have to act like it works, after this course you wont need it.

I just retook the course in Workspaces. My comment about slim above is wrong. You do not need Slim. However, Workspaces does work. If you are not getting your .txt file there is a problem with your process somewhere. Now that I retook it, I remembered that I switched to my text editor because I could not see the .txt file. This time I can and did one thing differently: I refreshed the file tree view in Workspaces. So try these things for troubleshooting:

1. Do you see a composer.json file? If so, open it and look to see if it says "require": { "monolog/monolog": "^1.14", "slim/slim": "^2.6" } If there is no json file, then composer has not been initialized for the project. Run composer init in the console. If the require is not in the json file, you have not properly installed Monolog.

2. Do you have a vendor folder? Do you have Monolog in the vendor folder? If you do not have them, there is a problem with your installation and start over. You should have both if step 1 is correct.

3. Try refreshing your Workspaces file tree by right clicking on the tree and selecting refresh.

4. If you still have no .txt file, try this code:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los Angeles');

echo "hello, world ln5";

$log = new Monolog\Logger('name');
$log->pushHandler(new Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('app.txt', Monolog\Logger::WARNING));

$log->addWarning('Foo');

echo "<br> line 12";

Refresh your file tree. This code worked for me and did the echos. When I first tried it I had some typos in the pushHandler and the first echo worked, but the second did not.

Let me know if you need any more help. If you do, please post a fork snapshot so I can look at the file setup and see if I can make it fun.

You did not start Slim.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new \slim\slim();
Rest of code;

This should help.

I'm doing this in my own Linux Ubuntu VirtualBox and was having the same issue.

1st: make sure if you are on windows or linux, that you copy the correct require statement. The linux version is :

require Dir . '/vendor/audoload.php';

2nd.: The real reason I was having the issue was because of permissions. I just set the docroot of this project to 777:

chmod 777 /var/www/whatever your docroot is for your apache server

remember to change that back after.
