David M. Karr created IO-472:
--------------------------------
Summary: FileUtils.openOutputStream doesn't create file if it
doesn't exist
Key: IO-472
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-472
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: David M. Karr
The javadoc for this method has a pretty unambiguous statement: "The file will
be created if it does not exist." However, this isn't happening. The code is
pretty clear on this:
----------------- public static FileOutputStream openOutputStream(File file,
boolean append) throws IOException {
if (file.exists()) {
if (file.isDirectory()) {
throw new IOException("File '" + file + "' exists but is a
directory");
}
if (file.canWrite() == false) {
throw new IOException("File '" + file + "' cannot be written
to");
}
} else {
File parent = file.getParentFile();
if (parent != null) {
if (!parent.mkdirs() && !parent.isDirectory()) {
throw new IOException("Directory '" + parent + "' could not
be created");
}
}
}
return new FileOutputStream(file, append);
}
-----------------
If it doesn't exist, it will just try to create a FileOutputStream, which
throws a FileNotFoundException.
