Winston can't run project in WebStorm, but from command line and PM2 it works

I inherited a legacy project with Winston 2, and have a very strange behaviour. When I start the project with PM2 or by using node index.js it works flawlessly. But when I define it as NODE.js configuration in WebStorm it exists with the following error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'logs/info-log.log'
Emitted 'error' event on  instance at:
    at WriteStream.<anonymous> (/legacy-project/node_modules/winston/lib/winston/transports/file.js:491:16)
    at WriteStream.emit (events.js:310:20)

  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'logs/info-log.log'
}

There is config for file transport:

{
  "category": "default",
  "name": "info-log",
  "filename": "logs/info-log.log",
  "level": "info"
}

Installed version is Winston 2.2.0, and I restricted to it unfortunately.

Solution

  • Ok, the issue was related to the working directory. There're a few apps which nested under the same working directory, which considered to be a root of the project. My mistake was that I defined the working directory as nested path of the sub-project. When I changed it, and instead of this defined full path to app.js, it began to work.
