Problem creating a file on Linux

[Paul59]

I'm doing this test to write out an integer to a file:

        ' open default file for output
        Local fileOut:FileStream = FileStream.Open(" cerberus://internal/world.dat", "w")
        ' write out test value
        fileOut.WriteInt(123)
        ' close file
        fileOut.Close()

According to the table in Help, I should be using the 'file' path prefix (cerberus://internal/) for FileStream.Open on GLFW but it falls over when trying to perform the write (line 84 of stream.cxs)

If I comment out the write it crashes when attempting to Close() with a memory access violation.

I'm guessing the file isn't being created...

This is on Linux and I'm writing to a subdirectory of my home folder so permissions shouldn't be an issue.

Look inside your build directory if the internal folder is there somewhere close to where the executable is.
If not, then I am not surprised, that it isn't working.

 

[MikeHart]

Btw, you have a space in front of cerberus://internal...

FileStream.Open(" cerberus://internal/world.dat", "w")

It may help if you take out that space before the cerberus://

Thanks both - I'd tried pasting quite a few different paths in there and somehow left a space in. Doh!

For anyone else on Linux, if using a debug build a file created with that res path will be in the [build-directory]/glfw3/ /gcc_linux/Debug/internal folder. (so many folders!)

 

[Paul59]

Incidentally, why is the build folder incorrectly dated? I just deleted all previous builds and rebuilt but the new folder is called editor.buildv2018-12-30 - where's that date coming from?

 

[dawlane]

The date is take from the VERSIONS.TXT.

Ah, great thanks
