[bugs #7532] Full Item Snapshot:

Project: GNUstep

Severity: 1 - None
Item Group: Bug
Resolution: Fixed

Status: Closed
Summary: [NSFileManager -fileExistsAtPath:isDirectory] behaves differently from
Apple's.
Original Submission: In the specification, values returned through a pointer passed
to isDirectory are not specified when a given path doesn't exist. Nonetheless, the
Apple's implementation returns the boolean NO if a given path doesn't exist.
Therefore, the following code works file for Mac,
but not for GNUstep:
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *path;
BOOL isDir;
(path is assumed to be set somewhere.)
[fm fileExistsAtPath: path isDirectory: &isDir];
if (isDir) {
(some operations if path is a directory)
}
Actually, on my machine (i686-pc-linux-gnu), we got
isDir = 8 when 'path' is not an existing path, thereby it is regarded as a directory.
It is possible for us not to call it a GNUstep's bug because the behavior of the
method of the Apple's version is not specified by the spec. Also, the code above
itself is bad because it doesn't check the return value of the method.
Having said so, it would be reasonable to set 'isDir' to NO when 'path' is not an
existing path.
