Description

When performing the initial sync of a local pruned testnet node, attempting to view the bitcoind logs via the "See Bitcoind Logs" in the "Debug" section, it seems like there is a pathing issue as the following "server error" shows up

However, manually drilling into the path shows an additional subdir "testnet3," which is where the debug.log file is kept and is appropriately being updated

Research direction

Reproduce the initial sync of a local pruned testnet node and use the Debug section's “See Bitcoind Logs” action. Compare the path it requests with the manually observed testnet3/debug.log location; done when the action opens the current debug.log during testnet sync.
