Hi Tech Support

I'm getting the following message in my output window when I run my game:

tail: /var/folders/k7/02nq3dnj40993w3g3rd9nkdm0000gn/GameMakerStudio2/GMS2TEMP/MyGame_35A09661_VM/debug.log: No such file or directory

"No such file or directory"

Is this a bug or is there something I need to do?

GM2 v.2.1.3.273 on OSX 10.13.13

This was/is a bug in the Mac version.

I had this bug as well. It means the debug output (show_debug_message() etc...) doesn't get shown in the console window.

It was supposed to be fixed in a recent version of GMS 2.

However, I find that I am still having this issue as well.

It's something to do with the way the debug.log file is not created quickly enough on disk when running a build, so when GMS 2 tries to read the file so it can output its contents to the console window, it can't find the file.

If you run your game from within GMS, and while it is running, browse to the folder path listed in the error, you will see the debug.log file is actually there.

The forums here are community based, and not the actual offical dev support channel.

I recommend you log it with YoYo Support.
