Session crashes with unhandled error after running overnight on macOS 12.0.1

[georgemaschke]

After running overnight, Session crashes with an unhandled error notice: "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/myAccount/Library/Application Support/Session/logs/log.log'"

Despite the notice, no such logs directory or file exists.

I have returned to Session on two consecutive mornings to be greeted with this error.

• Device: Macintosh with Intel processor
• OS: macOS 12.0.1
• Session Version or Git commit hash: v1.7.3

This is related to the logger library in use in Session. trentm/node-bunyan#374.
I don't reproduce this issue on my side but implemented the fixes people are talking in that issue.
Would you mind giving a non official build a try to see if that fixes your issue?
If you're fine, can you reach out to me on Session (id is in my github status), or just search me on session, i.e. just the letter b :)

Bilb, thank you for your attention to this. At the moment, being new to Session, I'd prefer to stick to official builds. I'm now on v1.7.4 and have not yet encountered this issue.

ok, closing this. let me know if it happens again

@Bilb This issue has returned. Attempted to debug it and it seems to happens when the log directory in the userData folder gets deleted for whatever reason. The rotation just tries to run despite the file not existing. We need a way to either cancel the rotation stream if we notice the folder doesn't exist or use an alternative log rotation package.
