How do I get logger to delete existing log file before writing to it again?
Try this:
filehandler_dbg = logging.FileHandler(logger.name + '-debug.log', mode='w')to open the filename in write mode instead of append mode, clobbering logger.name
More information: logging.FileHandler docs, open() and list of modes
If you are using any external configuration file then pass 'w' for write mode in args of the handler.
[loggers]keys=root[logger_root]level=DEBUGhandlers=file_handler[handlers]keys=file_handler[handler_file_handler]class=FileHandlerformatter=formatterargs=("../log/test" + time.strftime("%%Y%%m%%d%%H%%M%%S") + '.log', 'w')[formatters]keys=formatter[formatter_formatter]format=%(asctime)s %(levelname)-5s [%(module)s] %(message)s
You can try the following if you want to delete an existing file:
import ospath = r"path\to\your\file"os.remove(path)Very simple, it worked for me.
