Pascal Schumacher closed IO-472.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
> FileUtils.openOutputStream doesn't create file if it doesn't exist
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-472
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-472
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: David M. Karr
>
> The javadoc for this method has a pretty unambiguous statement: "The file
> will be created if it does not exist." However, this isn't happening. The
> code is pretty clear on this:
> {code:java}
> public static FileOutputStream openOutputStream(File file, boolean append)
> throws IOException {
> if (file.exists()) {
> if (file.isDirectory()) {
> throw new IOException("File '" + file + "' exists but is a
> directory");
> }
> if (file.canWrite() == false) {
> throw new IOException("File '" + file + "' cannot be written
> to");
> }
> } else {
> File parent = file.getParentFile();
> if (parent != null) {
> if (!parent.mkdirs() && !parent.isDirectory()) {
> throw new IOException("Directory '" + parent + "' could
> not be created");
> }
> }
> }
> return new FileOutputStream(file, append);
> }
> {code}
> If it doesn't exist, it will just try to create a FileOutputStream, which
> throws a FileNotFoundException.
