[request] want an option to append user logs to existing file --- workaround for P(J)ython scripts

not possible with version 1.1.x.

accepted for version 2

Here is a work-around for Python:

Put the following in a my_module.py in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Sikulix\Lib\site-packages and in sikuli scripts use from my_module import *:

#----------start of my_module.py----------#
from org.sikuli.basics import Debug as SikuliDebug
from org.sikuli.basics import Settings as SikuliSettings
import datetime

class Debug(SikuliDebug):
 printoutuser = None

 @staticmethod
 def setUserLogFile(fileName):
  if fileName == None:
   fileName = ""
  if fileName != None:
   if "" == fileName:
    if Settings.isMacApp:
     Debug.printoutuser = "UserLog.txt"
    else:
     Debug.printoutuser = getBundleFolder()+ "UserLog.txt"
   try:
    Debug.printoutuser = fileName
    with open(Debug.printoutuser, "a") as f:
     f.write("")
    return True
   except:
    print "[Error] User logfile %s not accessible - check given path"% fileName
    return False
  return False;

 @staticmethod
 def user(message):
  if SikuliSettings.UserLogs:
   with open(Debug.printoutuser, "a") as f:
    if SikuliSettings.UserLogTime:
     text = '[{} ({})] {}'.format(SikuliSettings.UserLogPrefix,'{:%m/%d/%y %I:%M:%S %p}'.format(datetime.datetime.now()).lstrip("0").replace(" 0", " "), message)
    else:
     text = '[{}] {}'.format(SikuliSettings.UserLogPrefix, message)
    f.write(text+"\n")
