Cordoba 3.3 - fileSystem.root.fullPath returns "/" instead of the full path

Question

I had a piece of code working with Cordova 2.7. I upgraded my app to Cordova 3.3 along with updating all the custom plugins that I developed.

I was able to successfully get the full absolute path in the Documents directory on iOS with Cordova 2.7, but with Cordova 3.3 it just returns / for fullPath

Here is my code:

 window.requestFileSystem = window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem; window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail); function gotFS(fileSystem) { alert("entered gotFS: " + fileSystem.root.fullPath); } 

I tested this on iPad Simulator 7.0 (which gave the correct results with Cordova 2.7)

Although, I can get the path with other methods, I would prefer to use the Cordova API.

The API documentation says nothing about this. Any idea what could be wrong?

Answer 1

Since several users requested my answer, here is how I managed to get the path to the Documents directory:

 var documentsDirectoryPath = decodeURIComponent(window.location.href); documentsDirectoryPath = documentsDirectoryPath.substring("file://".length); documentsDirectoryPath = documentsDirectoryPath.substring(0, documentsDirectoryPath.indexOf("/<<YOUR_APP_NAME>>.app/www/index.html")); documentsDirectoryPath += "/Documents"; 

Remember to replace YOUR_APP_NAME with your application name

Answer 2

try changing fullpath to toURL() and test

 window.requestFileSystem = window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem; window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail); function gotFS(fileSystem) { alert("entered gotFS: " + fileSystem.root.toURL()); }
