Ian Clelland created CB-6352: -------------------------------- Summary: FileSystem objects are not JSON-serializable Key: CB-6352 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6352 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Bug Components: Plugin File Reporter: Ian Clelland Assignee: Ian Clelland
Attempting to render a FileSystem object (or a FileEntry, or DirectoryEntry, or any other object with a FileSystem contained it) results in the error: {code} TypeError: JSON.stringify cannot serialize cyclic structures. {code} (This is new behaviour with File 1.0.0) This happens because of a cycle in the FileSystem object structure: FileSystem contains a 'root' property, which is a DirectoryEntry. The DirectoryEntry contains a 'filesystem' property, which is the original FileSystem. I think that we can solve this with a {{.toJSON()}} method on the FileSystem object. This is supported (tested) on iOS and Android, and appears to be present in all versions of WebKit back to 2009. I don't believe that the presence of this method should have any side effects on webviews (if there are any) which do not support it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
