Sending log files to SODA Team

Background​

The SODA app saves all errors in several log files on your computer. In order to solve user issues, the SODA Team usually needs to take a look at those log files.

How to obtain the log files​

Automatically​

To automatically gather your log files:

  1. Select the Contact Us tab in the navigation menu/sidebar.
  2. Click Gather Logs and then select a location to store the log files.
  3. They will be stored in a folder called SODA-For-SPARC-Logs

Manually​

You can also get the log files manually. Here are their locations on the different OS:

  1. Windows: C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\SODA for SPARC\logs
  2. macOS: ~/your-username/Library/Logs/SODA
  3. Ubuntu: /home/your-username/.config/SODA/logs

Common issues regarding the log files​

Unable to find the AppData (Windows), .config (Ubuntu), or Library (macOS) folder

Solution: It is very likely that the folder is hidden on your computer. To learn about how to show hidden files and folders, please visit here.
