Jason Ginchereau commented on CB-10798:
---------------------------------------
@Vito Macchia I think you're right, the problem is actually that the file
plugin is not requesting Android permissions when it needs to. There was
already some code added to handle the new permission requirements of Android
6.x, but this way of creating a directory does not go through a code path that
requests permissions. I'm still investigating.

> Key: CB-10798
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10798
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin File
> Affects Versions: 4.1.1
> Environment: Android 6.0.1 (Nexus 9 and other 6.x devices), Cordova
> cli 6.0.0, Android platform 5.1.0
> Reporter: Vito Macchia

> Cannot create folder into cordova.file.externalRootDirectory on Android 6.x
> Marshmallow. It always returns encording error (12), while on Android 5.x
> (Lollipop) the same code works fine.
> On Marshmallow devices I can succesfully create folders only into
> cordova.file.externalDataDirectory.
> No matter the value of preference AndroidPersistentFileLocation or
> AndroidExtraFilesystems.
> Code (some ES6, sorry)
> This snippet uses WinJS Promises - should work with native promises as well
> or you can just remove promises and pass succes and fail callbacks. It should
> create MY_Folder/test (both folders, like mkdirp) in the SD Card (regardless
> if emulated or not) root directory. It works fine with 5.x devices, but
> returns always FileError.ENCODING_ERR on Marshmallow.

> I suspect it has something to do with the way the storage should be handled
