Logs and data

Tinkerwell has settings and additional data in multiple places and you can check or delete these folders if something doesn't work as expected.

Config files

#

Tinkerwell stores data at:

Linux: /home/<Username>/.config/Tinkerwell
Windows: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Tinkerwell
Mac: /Users/<Username>/Library/Application Support/Tinkerwell

The settings are stored in the vuex.json file. Renaming this file to something else creates a fresh version on the next app start. The directory also contains a snippets.json file as well as a history.json file for storing snippets and history.

Log files

#

Tinkerwell stores logs in these directories:

Linux: ~/.config/Tinkerwell/logs/
Windows: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Tinkerwell\logs\
Mac: /Users/<Username>/Library/Logs/Tinkerwell

You can find a main.log and a renderer.log file there.

Auto Updater Artifacts

#

The updater stores update artifacts in a specific location and installs them automatically on app restart. If you are downgrading Tinkerwell to an earlier version or if the update is broken, you can clear the cache for the updater by deleting the directory.

Linux: ~/.config/de.beyondco.tinkerwell.ShipIt
Windows: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\de.beyondco.tinkerwell.ShipIt
Mac: ~/Library/Caches/de.beyondco.tinkerwell.ShipIt
