ASF subversion and git services commented on CB-5403: ----------------------------------------------------- Commit db0707997443053c348f54c11570aed0fffccc2f in branch refs/heads/master from [~iclelland] [ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-mobile-spec.git;h=db07079 ] CB-5403: Test backwards compatibility with file:// urls in file plugin > Overhaul File API implementation > -------------------------------- > > Key: CB-5403 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5403 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugin File > Reporter: Ian Clelland > Assignee: Ian Clelland > > This is the meta-issue for all of the File API-related changes. > File is getting overhauled, to provide the following features: > 1. Entry.toURL() should return a filesystem:// URL on platforms which support > it. Platforms which cannot support custom URL protocols are free to return > URLs which *can* be used to access the local file system. > 2. These URLs will look like: > filesystem://localhost/persistent/path/to/file.ext > filesystem://localhost/temporary/path/to/file.ext > Additional roots are possible for new file systems (assets, media, documents, > etc) > (The specific format used does not need to conform to any existing or > proposed standard, since these URLs should not be assumed valid across > machines) > 3. Entry.fullPath will be relative to the HTML file system root, and not a > path from the root of the actual device file system. > 4. Only URLs will be passed over the exec bridge; we won't be passing raw > file system paths into and out of JS anymore. (This generally means > filesystem:// URLs in the iOS/Android case, but platforms are free to support > other URLs as needed) > 5. Tests need to be updated so that they still pass when these changes are > made. > 6. File plugin should be modular, so that additional filesystem types can be > easily supported. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
