Bug

So far I haven't had any issues with using nim-mode, however it does seem to create a nimsuggest.log file in my user home directory. I don't mind this log file being created if i was able to control where it was being written to. Is there any options around how this file is created and where it is placed?

Interesting I did not know about nimsuggest.log. It had a size of 1839172114 bytes on my system. I just deleted it. Maybe that is the reason for some problems. I would like to turn it off if I can, because I don't need it.

I think the file is created by nimsuggest. So maybe if you look in the nim projet you can find something there. I found an option called --log to enable verbose logging, but that is the opposite of what I want to do. Nothing else yet.

nim-mode doesn't explicitly specify the "--log" option, so I have no idea about the nimsuggest.log... maybe you could get meaningful answer at nimsuggest repository's issue tracker. (or maybe nimsuggest's bug?)

hi, it looks like the sister issue to this has been closed; has anyone tried the fix to see if it works? (i believe it would require using devel version of nim)
