IO.CreateDirectory does not work

[Lazybones]

Hi there,

I am trying to write a script plugin which copies all project files to a backupdirectory. In this script I want to use the function IO.CreateDirectory in this way:

Code Select Expand


    local project = GetProjectManager().GetActiveProject();
       
if (!IsNull(project))
        {
local basepath = project.GetCommonTopLevelPath();

if (IO.CreateDirectory(basepath + _T("milestones"), 0755) )
{
::ShowMessage(_T("No Error creating directory"));
}
else
{
::ShowMessage(_T("Error creating directory"));
}
        }


the message "No Error creating directory" is displayed correctly but the directory is not created.

Is there any mistake in my script?

I am using WinXP and CodeBlocks svn-build 4898.

Thanks for your help!

Doesn't look like there is a mistake. I don't see a mistake in reporting failure to create a directory either, however.

I had to replace the Windows-Backslashes in the directory by slashes, then creating the directory worked fine:

Code Select Expand


local basepath = project.GetCommonTopLevelPath();
local milestonepath = basepath + _T("milestones");
milestonepath.Replace(_T("\\"), _T("/"));

if (IO.CreateDirectory(milestonepath, 0755) )
...

Maybe there is still a bug?

Hmm.. that is funny, this shouldn't be necessary...
That may be a wxWidgets bug. The application calls wxFileName::Normalize, which should whack slashes/backslashes and every other path component so it works, but apparently it doesn't...
