History isn't being logged in 6.16

ROOT

ROOT Version: 6.16
Platform: Mac OS X
Compiler: clang?

I upgraded from ROOT 5.34 to ROOT 6.16, and suddenly my history is not being saved. Is there an additional step necessary to enable history logging?

@aregjan, can you check if you have $ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc next line:
Rint.History: $(HOME)/.root_hist

In this case, $(HOME)/.root_hist is the file, where your history is saved.

Yes, already checked that. The line in systems.rootrc is pointing to the correct file…and yet the file has stopped growing.

4

Can you check if file is writeable (it has proper rights)?

Oh god I am dumb. Yes, it appears that the install (which was done as a root) changed the ownership of .root_hist. Thank you @oshadura.
