Hello Quinn and all,
I am getting an error that is causing the assert after FSPathMakeRef
to fail when my Apple Script Studio calls the Objective-C method
below. I know what is causing the error but I am not sure why it is
happening?:
Here is what I have found:
If I run an Apple script to connect to a network drive my program works.
--The script ran:
tell application "Finder"
open location "cifs://MSHOME;DANIELBR@IBM_NETVISTA/MYVIDEOS"
end tell
At that point when I get [***] the URL for that disk it is "file://
localhost/Volumes/MYVIDEOS/" which of course is filtered down to "/
Volumes/MYVIDEOS/" before calling the Objective-C method given below.
Every thing works fine on this try.
If I use the Finder GO menu > Network > ... way to connect to the
volume and run my program, it crashes with the error given below.
Now the URL is "file://localhost/Volumes/MSHOME;IBM_NETVISTA/"
which is shortened to "/Volumes/MSHOME;IBM_NETVISTA/"
FROM the terminal at this point there are the following volumes :
[MacBook-semi-Pro:/Volumes] danielbr% ls
MYVIDEOS MSHOME;DELLINS8200
Macintosh HD MSHOME;IBM_NETVISTA
and from that I see that "MSHOME;IBM_NETVISTA" is a problem.
Why is it giving a different path when using the GO menu in the
Finder. Specifically the ";" , I am almost certain this is what is
causing the error? It May be some kind of Apple Script error too
which resutls in ";" being replaced with ";". Any ideas or
suggestions? I am guessing the ";" may be some kind of escape
sequence or something... Can anyone confirm that ";" is a constant
part of network volumes mounted through the GO menu.
If I manually type in an input string of "/Volumes/
MSHOME;IBM_NETVISTA/" the program works.
Thank you,
Daniel J. Brieck Jr.
