Shouldn't this be
LOG_DIR

There currently isn't a LOG_DIR as there isn't one listed in the specification. As log files are not necessary to run the program they are placed into the CACHE_DIR. I could make a separate LOG_DIR and have that be the same as CACHE_DIR to make the code clearer.

Yeah, I just see that XDG standard is incomplete here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25897836/where-should-i-write-a-user-specific-log-file-to-and-be-xdg-base-directory-comp

The specification does state the following
This was was already stated in the stack overflow link above as well.
Admittedly I have not defined this environment variable in my own implementation. (I only have
XDG_DATA_HOME
andXDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable defined).While it may not be set in stone, I think the XDG Base Directories is the best and most widely accepted standard that we have. Implementing this will further encourage adoption, keep
$HOME
directories clean and easier to maintain. This change also is somewhat trivial and provides more value than the pain of adding it.While I understand that this seems to scatter the various files needed by protonvpn_cli among the different directories, keep in mind that this is the case with system applications as well (
/etc
for config files,/var/log
for logs, etc....). Having the$HOME
organized thus does not increase its complexity. Rather it only improves upon organization facilitating automated maintenance/archival tasks.
