write to file "file is not being created"

[ikarus_]

Hello community,

Used to use write to file blocks on deinit for mt4. Now that I'd like to do it on MT5 there is no file being created, checked every path on my Terminal Folder.
I checked if the blocks run normally with log message, which they do but no file is being output.
Anyone has the same problem or a solution for this? see screenshot below:

Only the following folder can be used to create file:
<your_terminal_path>\MQL4\Files

Hi @sktsec I know how and where it gets created if using meta trader 4 but I am using a mt5 EA. And even there it should be under \files but it is not showing up. Maybe a bug?

@ikarus_
Maybe you can try create the folder yourself

Can you please share the settings of the 'write to file' block?

Hi @l-andorrà see on the image below. Tbh the left write to file I used many times with mq4 programs.

Have you tried creating the folder "Files" ?

@ikarus_ Are you sure you crerated and selected the correct 'double' and 'string' variable types for each block slot?

@sktsec fyi the folder files comes standard with every mt5 terminal...
