Why does Clear Log(), also prevent anything after it from being printed in the log?

We are trying to pull a log file for each execution of the script.  There is a clear log() at the top of a script, and a save log() at the end.  For some reason when the clear log() is run, this prevents anything from being saved into the log file.

With this script I was able to save a log. Have you defined a location to save the log as an argument to save log()?

names default to here(1);
clear log();

print( "test" );

save log( "$DESKTOP/log.txt" );
