runtests: log/curl.log doesn't exist!

[bagder]

I did this

cd tests && ./runtests.pl 1

I expected the following

There should be a log file left after the run, called tests/log/curl.log showing each command line invoke done in the test. The file doesn't exist.

curl/libcurl version

current git master, but I believe this flaw has existed for a while. I cannot remember at which point it broke. It used to work.

operating system

Linux, but I think it might exist everywhere.

This puzzles me and I don't really have any good ideas how to debug it. What could possibly make it behave like this?

I may be totally wrong on this as I have absolutely no experience with Perl and how it behaves but as far as I looked at the code, the CMDLOG file stream was already used in function on line ~3000. However the file stream is being created in line ~5000. Maybe the runtime doesn't even have access to the variable yet. Maybe move the function a bit down.

1. It used to work
2. They're used in the correct order, so the filehandle is created before it gets used and it seems to be closed after all uses of it.

For the record: commit 6617db6 (June 27, 2019) broke it
