Copy File API

[DanH]

Struggling with this.

Here's the API

File.copy(var target)

Here's my code

LicenseFile.copy(FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData));

No errors but not copied file either. Any ideas?

@DanH Are you sure that LicenseFile exists? I haven't checked but it could be that the target has to be a file not a directory:

LicenseFile.copy(FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData).getChildFile("MyLicense.txt"));

@d-healey aha that was it, thanks!

@DanH said in Copy File API:

@d-healey aha that was it, thanks!

What was?

@d-healey If you copy a file somewhere you must ensure that the parent directory exists or the copy action will fail (because it will never implicitly create directories).

[DanH]

@d-healey it needed to be written / copied to a file, not a directory
