[David Epstein]

builds 2000-02-28. works OK on NT.
1. Linux and Mac: Go to http://jimbob/trigger2.html
2. Select a_fileop_filecopy ( using "file:///" as 1st GetFolder param)
3. Trigger. OK
4. Check logfile.
Result: file doesn't copy, error -232 (source not found).
5. Check Chrome folder (where filecopy.txt is supposed to be copied to).
Result: filecopy.txt isn't copied there.
Expected: It should be copied to Chrome folder w/o any errors.

Dave, what's the install.log on Mac and Unix?

Comment 2

[David Epstein]

Apparently, it's not appending a '/' in Linux, so it's looking for
"packagefilecopy.txt" instead of "package/filecopy.txt". Xpi copies the file
fine on NT and Win98. Here is the Linux log:

On Mac, it looks like it can't find the filecopy.txt (see fileSource pathway). 

Here is the Mac log:

Some good news for Linux. adding a '/' in the script helped. When I used:
fTemp = f + "/" + jarSrc;  // instead of f + jarSrc;
fileSource = getFolder("file:///", fTemp);

fileCopy worked on Linux, but not on Mac. Still get -232 error on Mac. The 
current xpi uses '/'.

changed QA contact. added pp for keyword.

Comment 6

[David Epstein]

The same problem occurs with File.move (surprise, surprise)! -232 error.
Try http://jimbob/trigger2.html and trigger a_fileop_filemove. same pathway 
problem and failure (works OK on NT, but not on Linux and Mac).

Comment 7

[David Epstein]

Same problem with File.rename. Returns -232 error. Add the "/" in the script and
it works OK on Linux. Try triggering a_fileop_filerename2.xpi on jimbob/jars.

Here is the log file for rename (Linux):

FIXED.

Comment 15

[David Epstein]

File copy works great cross-platform. File move isn't working using this script, 
though it's returning a different error (-214). I'll investigate this (might 
have something to do with locating the "Temp" directory) and submit a separate 
bug for File move. File remove works fine except on Linux. I'll investigate that 
one also.
