When using Rasa CLI’s --log-file option, the log file is created but nothing gets written to it. I have tried using --debug option as well. When using --debug, the debug message are being displayed on the screen but not written into the log file. ---

Actually as part of migration guiide it explicitly mentions that underscores in script parameters have been changed to hyphens… ---

Ohh. I forget about the new version, my bad. BTW i am using core 0.13.3. Which version are you using? I can check and let you know if I can get something. ---

Hi @tuorhador, the --log-file argument isn’t working for me too and I don’t know if I am doing something wrong here or it is a bug as I am not using the latest version for my work. Please ask rasa team, they can assist you better. ---

Sure, thanks for the effort. A question, you say ask RASA team, for this do I need to do something extra to draw their attention to the issue or just leave the issue out here for someone from their team to pickup when they can? ---

@tuorhador Thanks for reporting this. It is indeed a bug. The argument `log-file` is never used in the code. I created an [issue](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/3670) on GitHub. We will fix it as soon as possible. ---

There are too many queries on this forum and sometimes a query or two are left unattended by experts.So, I will suggest you to either create an issue over the [github repo](https://github.com/rasaHQ/rasa/issues) as this seems a bug to me or to get someone’s attention here, you can specifically mention them using `@` . ---

I did get a response, and a github issue has been created. Thanks for your help @harshitc . ---
