Re: [platform-team-dev] IFile.exists() always returns false

Donald,

This mailing list is for discussions
related to the developement of the Team component of Eclipse. A better
place to ask this question would be the eclipse-platform newsgroup.

If I was to guess, I would say that
the most likely cause of your problem is that the path you are providing
(absolutePathToFile) is not relative to your container. Try adding this
line before your exists chack and see what the result is:

        System.out.println(toFile.getLocationURI().toString())

Subject	[platform-team-dev] IFile.exists() always returns false

From my plugin code I have created
a new file in my workspace and am adding it to my project using the following
code:
 
         
          IPath workspaceIPath = new
Path(absolutePathToFile);
         
          IFile toFile = toContainer.getFile(workspaceIPath);
 
I don’t bother calling toFile.create()
since the file is already there, plus from the navigator I see my new file
in the project.  All looks good so far.
 
The problem is I want to set a property
value on the file as soon as I add it to the workspace.  I’m using
the following updated code
 
         
          IPath workspaceIPath = new
Path(absolutePathToFile);
         
          IFile toFile = toContainer.getFile(workspaceIPath);
         
          toFile.refreshLocal(IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE,
null);
         
          if
(toFile.exists())
         
              toFile.setPersistentProperty(MY_KEY,
 “Some string”);
 
toFile.exists() always returns false.
 I thought refreshLocal() would take care of it, but it doesn’t.
 I’ve tried a bunch of things and have searched through the bug list
and mailing lists.  I haven’t come up with anything.  Any thoughts?
 
Regards,
Don
