Where does dataSaver put files on Mac?

bigtunacan · March 2016

I'm testing out my application on my Mac and using dataSaver to save/load data. The code runs without error, but when I look in the directory I am unable to find my file created anywhere.

Currently I'm just using the sample off appcodingeasy to test this.

local someValue = 42
dataSaver.saveValue("somevalue", somevalue)
 
local mydata = {}
mydata.somestring = "mystring"
mydata.somevalue = 42
dataSaver.save("|D|mydata", mydata)

If on player, you can do, File -> Open Directory it should be in your project name and documents app.txt

@ar2rsawseen, So what then is the proper way to bootstrap a data file that I intend to update? Do you typically just store the file in some other directory along with your application and then move it over on the first run?

@bigtunacan exactly like that, just add it to your project, copy it from your project.

Same for example is done with sql databases:
http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/plugin/sqlite3#sqlite3

there exmaple functions on how you can copy a file and check if it exists, etc.

@ar2rsawseen, It looks like lsqlite3 is possibly built into Gideros so I don't need to do any of the build/setup process, just require and go?

it is a plugin, so you would need to do some additional steps for installing it as a plugin on some platform. You can check it on the same page.
I think only desktop platforms have it out of the box
