Micro: Always creates log.txt even without specifying -debug flag

Created on 29 May 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: zyedidia/micro

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

  • I installed micro for the first time on Ubuntu 20.04 (using apt install)
  • Open a file with micro micro test.txt
  • Save/close the file
  • There is a log.txt file in my directory

It seems related to the -debug flag even though I am not passing it. I tried adding "debug": false to ~/.config/micro/settings.json but it didn't help

Specifications

I only noticed this when I started to fill out this section, but when I run micro --version I see:

"Version: 0.0.0-unknown"

This seems suspicious...

The version of micro in apt currently has some packaging issues and I'm not sure how to update it. I have just asked the Debian maintainers who packaged it about updating. In the meantime, I recommend installing via the prebuilt binaries, or snap (which are guaranteed to be up-to-date and packaged correctly because I make sure to maintain those releases).

Thanks! I installed using the bash install script (as snap isn't supported in WSL 2 yet) and it's working great now :)
