Creating a folder fails [#18271]

[chrisliebaer]

Hi MM-Lovers,
in VBS (MM 4) i had my own export script where i created my own directory tree. When the directory tree already existed i deleted it and created it new.
Now (on MM 5 with JS) i have problems creating a new folder. Script runs without any problems but the new directory willl not be created... Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

var fs = app.filesystem;
var dir_out = "C:\\Test";
if(fs.dirExists(dir_out + "\\M3U"))
{
	fs.deleteFolderAsync(dir_out + "\\M3U", false, false);
	fs.getFolderFromString(dir_out + "\\M3U");
}
else
{
	fs.getFolderFromString(dir_out + "\\M3U");
}

Hi,
just checking our documentation https://www.mediamonkey.com/docs/api/cl ... FromString
and you seem to be right that getFolderFromString description is "Creates new folder", but actually it does not create any folder just gets the 'SharedFolder' object that isn't documented though.

I entered the issue as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18271 to be fixed for 5.0.2

Current workaround for you should be something like this:

Code: Select all

fs.getFolderFromString(dir_out).createFolder("M3U");

Code: Select all

fs.getFolderFromString(dir_out).createFolder("M3U");

Works like a charm! Thought about something like this, but didn't get it to work either.
Thank you!
