Log Crashes to ~/.tracy

[justinmoore-ncc]

Hey folks,

First, thanks for developing tracy. It's a great tool that I'm excited to introduce into my workflow.

While using Tracy it hit a fatal error which dumped a huge log to the screen and It was kind of a hassle to copy the error from my tmux buffer into a useable file. Because Tracy also has a directory it uses to store preferences, would it be possible to also log crashes into this directory to improve triaging?

Thanks,
Justin

You're right, we should probably add this by default. For logs, we have the -o parameter that you can provide and it will write all logs messages to an external file. However, I don't think it catches panics, which is what I imagine you hit.

I think I need to just add a recover statement to the main function and write any errors to a file.
