I'm attempting to create a directory with NSFileManager's method. The directory may already exist.
According the documentation <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSFileManager_Class/Reference/Reference.html> the method shall return YES if the directory already exists: " Return Value YES if the directory was created or already exists or NO if an error occurred. " However, when the directory already exists it returns NO with error parameter set: NSFileManager* fm = [[NSFileManager alloc] init]; NSString* tmpDir = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Test"]; NSError* error; if (![fm createDirectoryAtPath:tmpDir withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error]) { NSLog(@"ERROR: setup test environment with error: %@", error); } Console: ERROR: setup test environment with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=516 "The file “Test” couldn’t be saved in the folder “T” because a file with the same name already exists." UserInfo=0x100600150 {NSFilePath=/var/folders/m9/5p__qm3967qchc9_26tl85km0000gn/T/Test, NSUnderlyingError=0x100602d00 "The operation couldn’t be completed. File exists"} Do I miss something?
