[New-bugs-announce] [issue2929] TimedRotatingFileHandler crashes on backup file deletion attempt

[Stephan Blietz]

New submission from Stephan Blietz <sblietz at gmx.de>:

Hello,
when the maximum number of backup files is reached
TimedRotatingFileHandler can't delete the oldest existing file. I got
the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Python25\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 75, in emit
    self.doRollover()
  File "D:\Python25\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 319, in doRollover
    os.remove(s)
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified:
'assyst.log.2008-05-20_12-49'

The reason for this error is located in the getFilesToDelete method of
the TimedRotatingFileHandler class. The result sequence of this method
contains filenames but a complete filepath is needed.

After replacing 
    result.append(fileName) 
with
    result.append(os.path.join(dirName, fileName))
the problem seems to be solved

Regards
Stephan
