obtaining a FileUrl through String>>asUrl
 
|
Hi,
I am trying to get to a FileUrl via the polymorphic asUrl call, but it seems I am doing something wrong. I do: 'file:d:\' asUrl but the problem seems that $: and $\ are mangled, because when I print, I get: file:///d%3A%5C Furthermore: 'file:d:\' asUrl asFileReference exists ==> false but, at the same time: 'd:\' asFileReference exists ==> true Can anyone tell me where is the mistake?
Btw, the reason I am looking for this is that I would like to use the ZeroConf support to load a configuration from a directory Monticello repository and to do that I have to pass a url to the command line. Cheers, |

I guess that will work out of the box under linux. I think the URL parsing with the directory letter under windows is broken. And I bet there is no test catching that either. Did you try the following? 'file://d:/' asUrl 'file:d:/' asUrl |

'file:d:/' asUrl ==> file:///d%3A/ 'file://d:/' asUrl ==> file://d:/ The second looks nice, but: 'file://d:/' asUrl asFileReference ==> File @ The problem seems to be that: 'file://d:/' asUrl pathString ==> '' :( Cheers,

Hi Sven,
Thanks. I will give it a try next week. @Camillo: In the meantime, I opened an issue: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/10180/Obtaining-a-FileReference-through-String-asUrl-should-work-on-Windows I am not sure I did it right. Could you check and let me know if there is anything I missed in the entry (I mean from the point of view of the meta-data, not of the description)?
