4,902 Pointsgame.log not working
In the python shell after typing ls
game.log doesn't show up. I get only smth like this:
treehouse:~/workspace$ ls
badpep8.py buggy.py dd_game.py docstrings.py logging.py __pycache__
Why?

13,529 PointsSo I copied your code and I was able to create and log out to game.log.
treehouse:~/workspace$ ls
badpep8.py buggy.py dd_game.py docstrings.py game.log game.py
treehouse:~/workspace$ cat game.log
INFO:root:monster: (0, 0); door: (1, 2); player: (1, 0)
treehouse:~/workspace$ python --version
Python 3.6.4
can you type
python game.py
then quit out and then do an
ls -al
boi
14,242 PointsHi there josh, what is this -al command?
Chris Freeman
Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsThe -al are switches to the shell command ls
.
-
-a
says display all files, including "dot" files -
-l
says display long listing which includes permissions and file size

11,490 PointsI ran this fine. when I copied and saved the code and ran the program through the command line. must be something with the workspace. Maybe try copying it to your python IDE shell or anther text editor, then re-aligning the spaces and tabs in the setting, then pasting it back to the workspace.
Short of that I am not sure, but it is saving the log every time I move.
