Always throwing java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException

[Pedro Pinto]

Hello,
I'm trying to write to a file but no matter the file or the permissions I have (e.g., 777) I always get the exception java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException.

Another issue I have is that the documentation for the method writeFile (from the class FileSystem) says that it creates the file but that doesn't happen. I created the file manually but the error continues.

This is my code:

fs.writeFile("~/somefile.txt", Buffer.buffer("Hello"), function(res, res_error) {
 if(res_error === null) {
 console.log("Ok!");
 } else {
 console.log("Oh, oh... " + res_error);
 }
});

Am I missing something? Thank you

What happens if you don't use ~ but give the full path to the file?

It works ;) That was my mistake. Thank you

I think the ~/ shortcut is expanded by the shell so that this does not work when you use it in any normal program

You have to use something like getenv("HOME")+"/somefile.txt"
