Have tried this on a windows 10 universal app and had some issues.
cordova.file values seem to return a absolute path eg:
cordova.file.dataDirectory returns c:\... etc when I would expect it to
return ms-appdata:///local/ which is the accessible path for the app to reach
persistent storage.
with the absolute path returned functions like checkDir, checkFile always
fail.
window.resolvelocalfilesystemurl(cordova.file.dataDirectory) always throws
a error code 5 encoding error when using this PR.
If I remove this PR code and go back to master and manually specify the
value of cordova.file.dataDirectory to the ms-appdata url above then
resolvelocalfilesystemurl works as expected as do other core file plugin
functions like checkdir, checkfile etc.
so I have reverted back to using the current release of the file plugin
with the following code added to my app.js:
//Init file systems for Windows
if (cordova.platformId === "windows"){
console.log("platform is windows");
cordova.file = {
dataDirectory: "ms-appdata:///local/",
cacheDirectory: "ms-appdata:///temp/",
tempDirectory: "ms-appdata:///temp/",
applicationDirectory: "ms-appdata:///"
};
};
This resolve the immediate problem and the app works now when I build for
the windows platform and test on windows 10, but perhaps you could adjust this
PR to take this into account so that the cordova.file.* constants work as
expected for the file systems that are available on windows without requiring a
workaround.
