An useless log dir was created after calling new winston.transports.DailyRotateFile( options )

See original GitHub issue

new winston.transports.DailyRotateFile( {
    dailyrotate: true,
    filename: '/.../lib/modules/server/app/log/info-%DATE%.log',
    datePattern: 'YYYY-MM-DD',
    maxSize: '20m',
    maxFiles: '30d',
    level: 'info' }
} );

After calling the code above, an empty log dir would be created in /.../lib/server/.

I tried to write a sample, but at last, I found out the reason. It isn’t because of winston-daily-rotate-file it is because of the library file-stream-rotator that being used in winston-daily-rotate-file. It created a .audit.json file for recoding a map of log files, and because I copied the directories, the .audit.json hasn’t been rebuilt, it still has the old path in it, so file-stream-rotator makes some useless directories in the old path.

Thank you for your patience.

Can this part of information about .audit.json file being created be added in the Wiki/README. It would help. I was facing a similar issue where the FileStreamRotator returned a permission error to store logs at some obscure directory, since I was running the logger initially outside docker and then inside a docker container.
