Michael Fry commented on CB-2212:
---------------------------------
Well, to demo it requires a bit of setup but it can be pretty easily replicated
following these steps.
# Create a new project using the Cordova 2.3.0 Standalone template.
# Add a file called readme.txt in the www directory with some random text in it.
# Replace the contents of index.js with this (a mix of the template code and
the file reader example from the documentation):
{code:JavaScript}

# Run the project... In the console you should see the error code: 1 (file not
found)
# Now, to fix the error we need to make sure files are added to isolated
storage.
# Create a CordovaSourceDictionary.xml in the project root and add the
following to it.
{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This file is auto-generated, do not edit! -jm -->
<CordovaSourceDictionary>
<FilePath Value="www\index.html"/>
<FilePath Value="www\readme.txt"/>
</CordovaSourceDictionary>
{code}
# Open the code behind file CordovaView.xaml.cs and go to line 254. Uncomment
this large block of code so that the dictionary is parsed and files are added
to isolated storage.
# Run again... the contents of readme.txt will now be shown in the console.
The problem lies in the File.cs Command class. The call to GetFileOrDirectory
counts on the files being in IsolatedStorage. With the code commented out in
CordovaView.xaml.cs this is never created and then any attempts to use the
FileReader will not work.
> FileSystem getFile() call never finds file on WP8 as isolated storage is empty

> Key: CB-2212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2212
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: WP8
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Michael Fry
> Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen
>
> In attempting read a file included in my www folder I was continually
> returned an error code of 0. In digging in it appears it was due to file not
> found.
> In the GapBrowser_Loaded handler there is a large chunk of commented out code
> that notes that in WP8 "isolated storage is no more required in WP8". It
> appears that this suppresses the loading of isolated storage because when I
> view my emulator using WP power tools it is empty.
> The file i/o code in File.cs reads/writes using isolated storage. Without
> the www files being loaded at startup it will never be able to make the reads
> from things like settings or readme files.
> After uncommenting the code and creating a CordovaSourceDictionary.xml file I
> was able to load isolated storage. File reads then worked as designed.
