rotation could not keep with write

[yoonghm]

Hi,

I am testing loguru.disable() and loguru.enable() with rotation. Here are my codes:

mylibrary.py

from loguru import logger
import sys

class MyLibrary:
    def __init__(self):
        config = {
            'handlers': [
                {'sink': 'logfile.log',
                 'rotation': '1 kB',
                 'format': '{time:YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss} - {name}:{file}:{line} - {message}'
                },
                {'sink': sys.stdout,
                 'format': '{time:YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss} - {name}:{file}:{line} - {message}'
                },
            ],
            'extra': {'user': 'someone'}
        }
        logger.configure(**config)
        logger.disable('mylibrary')
        logger.info('This message is not displayed')
        
    def do_something(self, msg):
        logger.error(f'Processing message {msg} ...')

and this is the script that uses the library

uselibrary

from mylibrary import MyLibrary
from loguru import logger
#import time

myl = MyLibrary()

logger.info('This message is from uselibrary.py')
myl.do_something('start')
logger.enable('mylibrary')

for i in range(100):
    myl.do_something(str(i))
    #time.sleep(0.0001)
    
myl.do_something('end')

It will produce the following errors:

If I enable the delay via time.sleep(0.0001) the problem disappear. Thanks.

Ugh, sorry for this bug... I did not expect the rotation to happen twice at the same microsecond. I just realized that the internal clock resolution is quite large on Windows (like 15 ms), so it makes this error much more likely to happen.

I will add a check before calling os.rename(), and probably add another suffix to the desination filename if it already exists. Thanks for the report. 😉

[Delgan]

Howerver, it happens from your first message, and the time in the file name doesn't match the time in the error record. So maybe there's something else to investigate. 😕

Edit: This is related to win32-setctime, as the date used to format the file come from _get_creation_time(). I guess resolution of .st_ctime is too big.

[Delgan]

Fixed. 👍

If destination of the renamed file exists despite the time added to the file name, another counter will be added and incremented until no such file exists: "logfile.2019-11-24_09-23-45_671958.2.log".
