game.write_file not appending

[mattie112]

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... write_file

Code: Select all

write_file (filename, data, append, for_player) 

So I have this piece of code:

Code: Select all

local function log_message(msg)
    msg = game.tick .. " " .. msg
    game.write_file(baseFolder .. baseFile, "[FactorioChatBot]: " .. serpent.line(msg, { comment = false }, true))
end

And I expect my txt file to grow with 1 line each time this is executed. But: it's not. Only the last line is in the file. Why is the append not working?

Your "true" for the append argument is inside the parentheses for serpent.block.
