Related to my previous post as I began to rewrite the existing code
I noted the directory exist and test path name are returning false
and failing to return 0 where I would expect them to succeed.
// Some quick code to test 'directory exists' and 'test path name'
$nativeRootPath := url to native path(get root) `This path should
definitely exist. Right?
write($nativeRootPath) `e.g., Mirrored RAID 3
Disk:Library:Application Support:4D:com.aparajita:Active4D:web:
// Split the path into its various folders
split string($nativeRootPath; directory separator; $pathParts)
a4d.debug.dump array($pathParts) `This outputs what I would expect
// Reassemble the folders and test :
// directory exists, and
// test path name
// at each step
$path := $pathParts{1}
for ($i; 2 ; size of array($pathParts) )
$path := $path + directory separator + $pathParts{$i}
$directoryExists := directory exists($path)
$result := test path name($path)
write("<p>")
write("\"" + $path + "\" " + $directoryExists + ": " + $result)
write("</p>")
end for
~~~~~
I'm not getting the expected results. Directory exists always
returns false and test path name returns -45 (File is locked).
Here is the output
Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library:Application
Support:4D:com.aparajita:Active4D:web:
[ I deleted the array dump in case the mailing list would block the
message ]
"Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library" False: -45
"Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library:Application Support" False: -45
"Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library:Application Support:4D" False: -45
"Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library:Application Support:4D:com.aparajita"
False: -45
"Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library:Application
Support:4D:com.aparajita:Active4D" False: -45
"Mirrored RAID 3 Disk:Library:Application
Support:4D:com.aparajita:Active4D:web" False: -45
~~~~~
Are my path inputs to directory exists in the wrong format?
File is locked seems like an odd response for test path name.
