Exporting ReadyAPI logs to an external file
I would like to export the Script log to an external file. I found some supposed solutions online but none of them seem to do anything that I can tell (Maybe I'm running them wrong). I would like...

Hi Rao,
Thank you for responding.
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean when you say "existing file". If you mean can the file that is created at the time the testcase is ran than yes. That is what I want to do, export the Script log to another directory.
As for a use case I have a SoapUI project that has multiple testcases. For each one I would like to be able to export the Script log to the project path with a file name like testcasename.log and I think it would be OK for it to be overwritten each time but it might be nice to turn that on and off also, if that is possible.
I have found a few solutions that are similar to this
/The below groovy script step is to capture the soapUI log area.
// "soapUI log" can be replaced with http log, jetty log, script log, error log etc based on the need.
def logArea = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logMonitor.getLogArea( "soapUI log" );
//Below two lines of groovy script is to get the project directory, we will be saving the soapUI log contents on a file in that directory.
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def projectPath = groovyUtils.projectPath
def logFile = new File(projectPath + "\\soapUI-Logs-to-file.txt")
//This is the first line in the soapUI log file.
logFile.write("soapUI Logs In a file.\r\n")
if( logArea !=null )
{
def model = logArea.model
if( model.size > 0 )
for( c in 0..(model.size-1) )
logFile.append(model.getElementAt( c ))
}None of them seem to really work. I can see a file created but it's blank. From looking at this script I think if it worked it would accomplish what I need but not entirely sure since it's not working for me.
If it helps at all this is how I have things being logged to the Script log

The idea is to create a log file that can be used for troubleshooting purposes. The project I am currently building may be ran by other people in other locations
- Would you please check below thread where readyapi writes log files, and see what you are looking for is fulfilled.
Note that, there are different files that it creates.
https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-NG/testrunner-bat-log-files-for-Ready-API/m-p/103064#U103064I checked that location and unfortunately it does not include the log I am looking for. In my $userhome/.readyapi/bin directory all i have is delete.log, global-groovy.log, ready-api.log, and ready-api-errors.log
The global-groovy.log does include the log.info values I am setting but it's a huge file, it does not just include one test case but all script output for months and months. The size is 16Mb and goes back to last year.
I have attached a screen shot of the exact log that I am interested in. Hopefully that will help.
- Well, then it is easy when you say the information that you need is available in there.
So, it is not taken care, hence become huge.
Now you can clean it every time the test is started. Of course, you may add some shell script to do so.
