Can't append to a file with file.write. What am I doing wrong?

[Radio-biscuit]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a playlist log using file.write (Windows 2.2.4) and I can't seem to stop new data overwriting the original data.

If I use:

file.write(append=true,data="Test one\n","testing.log")
file.write(append=true,data="Next test\n","testing.log")

The file contains just "Next test" when I open it in a text editor. Is this what's supposed to happen or am I missing something? I had a look for answers, but it doesn't seem that anyone else is getting this problem. I feel I'm missing something somewhere.

Thanks, A.

Hi!

Thank. I can confirm the issue by running the windows binary with wine. The problem does not seem to occur on linux.

Still investigating more, will report.

Ah! I shall try on my Linux kit. I know that Windows has a very different file system and I have both systems to test on. My "production" machine is Linux, so I will try there now. Thanks again! A.

Yes, I can confirm that this works with no problems on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04). I shall be using Linux, so I will work on that machine for now. I use the Windows machine for testing scripts before using on "production". So I can also test on the "production" machine using a different instance. Thanks, A.

Great. The problem has been reported and fixed on the compiler: ocaml/ocaml#13326. I'll make sure our next released binary has the patch backported as well.
