resolveLocalFileSystemURI failing with error.code 5 (ENCODING_ERR)

[ijwelch]

Hi,

Phonegap 0.9.5

iOS 4.2.1

Any ideas why this call would result in error code 5?

var sPath='/var/mobile/Applications/80445699-37DC-42C2-B286-93893213E02C/Documents/63FAEC39-D63D-B128-CD72-620E93CD3F4F.jpg';

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(sPath, win, fail);

I've checked the obvious, and the file exists and loads ok in html.

I actually want to delete the file so the above call is to get a FileEntry object. 

This I gleaned from the 'docs' (under the title 'HOW TO CREATE A FileEntry OBJECT' - sorry that's a joke I just couldn't resist). 

So if there's another way to delete a file (given a file name) then cool.

It's because you are not passing in a URI. Try:

var sPath='file:///var/mobile/Applications/80445699-37DC-42C2-B286-93893213E02C/Documents/63FAEC39-D63D-B128-CD72-620E93CD3F4F.jpg';
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(sPath, win, fail);
