Taariq Levack commented on CAMEL-4474: -------------------------------------- You're using a dot in the directory name which is not allowed, is this the error you're getting? IllegalArgumentException("Only directory is supported. Endpoint must be configured with a valid starting directory: " + file); > file: consumer does not create directory > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-4474 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4474 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: Bug > Components: camel-core > Affects Versions: 2.8.1 > Environment: java 1.6 > Reporter: David J. M. Karlsen > Labels: component, consumer, file > Attachments: Camel4474.java, app-config-context.xml, > app-config.properties, test-context.xml > > > According to http://camel.apache.org/file2.html autoCreate is true by default > and should for a consumer create the directory. > {noformat} > autoCreate true Automatically create missing directories in the file's > pathname.
