(Ruby) SFTP Debug Log File Path

Demonstrates how to use the DebugLogFilePath property to get information if a Chilkat method crashes or hangs.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

sftp = Chilkat::CkSFtp.new()

# Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
sftp.put_VerboseLogging(true)
sftp.put_DebugLogFilePath("/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt")

# Make the call that crashes or hangs,
# for example, if the method is DownloadFileByName:

remoteFilePath = "..."
localFilePath = "..."
success = sftp.DownloadFileByName(remoteFilePath,localFilePath)

# Note: If the method returns control to your application code, then it did not crash within Chilkat.
# The DebugLogFilePath property causes all information that would be recorded in the LastErrorText to be emitted to the
# log file (with immediate file write flushing, i.e. no buffering).  Thus, in a crash situation,
# the log file will contain information up to the point of the crash.

if (success == false)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end
