I am working on a project based on the Fantom language. But I can't download it because of the "metadata/.log." problem.

I understand that I have to delete this file The problem is that I don't find in the folder where I saved the project When I open the "f4workspace" it's empty but when I click on "see more information" of the folder I see that it contains an element:

can anyone help me??

    That .log file contains details of the error that is occuring - you need to read it and show us what it says. Because the .log file name starts with '.' Finder will not normally show it - use Cmd + Shift + . to get Finder to show hidden files. – greg-449 Mar 29 '20 at 09:42

The .log file starts with a dot so it'll be automatically hidden by MacOS (and linux) - see articles like How to Show Hidden Files on Mac to view them.

Do note that F4 currently requires Java8 to work and will not work on any later versions of Java.

Also, should the installation finally work for you, there's a slightly updated version of F4 available on GitHub.

  • thanks for your answer! BuI still haven't found the .log file in the library... By the way, Do you know in which platform I can work to learn Fantom language expect from F4 on Mac iOS ? – QuestionMac22 Mar 29 '20 at 14:41
  • @QuestionMac22 see [IDEs on fantom-lang.org](https://fantom-lang.org/ide) for a list of F4 alternatives. – Steve Eynon Mar 30 '20 at 15:11
