Hi,

Using rfa8.2.1.L1.linux.rrg C++ on Linux, I have seen that the AppLogger log file is not generated correctly if the application is executed using the full path to the executable.

I have a ValueAdd Consumer application which configures application logging:

\Logger\AppLogger\fileLoggerEnabled  = true
\Logger\AppLogger\fileLoggerFilename = "{a}.rfa.log"

If I execute the application like this:

./TestConsumer

then the log file "TestConsumer.rfa.log" is created as expected.

But if I execute the application using the full path like this:

/the/path/to/the/application/TestConsumer

then either no log file is created, or occasionally a log file with a garbage name like

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ������������.rfa.log" is created.

Am I misconfiguring logging somehow, or is there another issue here?

If I run the application under valgrind

valgrind --tool=memcheck --track-origins=yes ./TestConsumer

no errors are reported, but if I run using the full path

valgrind --tool=memcheck  --track-origins=yes /the/path/to/the/application/TestConsumer

then errors like this are reported (full output attached as valgrind-output.txt):
