Mac And Files In Java

[elder flame]

Hi Guys I am testing a thing in my project and I am really confuse about a little thing, I didnt too much in mac, basically always in windows, and recently i was testing a thing with generative files. This thing check if a directory with the assertion of Junit, idk why when i pass a tmp directory generated by an annotation by Junit this make a temporary directory, thats works as expected, the problem comes, when the temporary directory is empty, and (I think) mac say "Oh this path with not extensions and no content its a file and obviously not is a directory" I am loosing my mind because i didnt found nothing on internet. Someone have the same problem at some point?

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

@elder flame can u post the code ? quite hard to have any idea on what's going on without that

[elder flame]

Mmm yes, give me a second

And if you give me a few mins i will put the codee without image

final Path pathToTarget = Path.of(resultPath.toString(), "target");
final Path pathToTargetConsumer = pathToTarget.resolve(targetConsumer);
final File targetConsumerFolder = pathToTargetConsumer.toFile();

assertThat(targetConsumerFolder).isNotEmptyDirectory();```

Detected code, here are some useful tools:

Formatted code

// some code
final Path pathToTarget = Path.of(resultPath.toString(), "target");
final Path pathToTargetConsumer = pathToTarget.resolve(targetConsumer);
final File targetConsumerFolder = pathToTargetConsumer.toFile();
assertThat(targetConsumerFolder).isNotEmptyDirectory();

The error:

Error: AsyncApiGeneratorTest.processFileSpecForTestFileGeneration:73 
Expecting file:
  /tmp/junit7678323192558060198/target/generated
 to be an existing directory.```

don't use legacy IO classes

if there is no API for Path objects, use assertTrue with Files.isDirectory

[elder flame]

The problem its Files.isDirectory keep saying a specific directory not is one

For that i want know how Java determine if its a directory or nnot

[high mulch]

could you say that again please

[elder flame]

For example the path i post over

Its a directory, but the Files.isDirectory give me a false

When I pass him the File

idk why

[high mulch]

you can't pass a File into Files.isDirectory

also, the existense of a Path (or a File) java object doesn't mean that the directory/file is actually there
