I am trying to read a file using cordova with this code. But I am not able to see alert inside fileSystem.root.getFile function.

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,
           function (fileSystem) { 
               alert("root name=" + fileSystem.root.name); //alert working
              //after this not working 
               var path = "index.html";
               fileSystem.root.getFile(path, null, function (fileEntry) {
                   alert('file entry');

                   fileEntry.file(gotFile, fail);

               }, fail);
           }, fail);

       function fail(error) {
           alert("File System Error:" + error.code);
       }

I get error code 1. I am using visual studio cordova hybrid app plugin (2013).

Update Solved:

I solved the problem by going to my bin -> windows phone directory. And then i renamed the .xap file to .zip to extract the content. I found there that my files are correctly deployed along with cordova plugins. But my files were inside www directory. So i sepcified the path and it works now;

var path = "www/index.html"; 

But i am really wondering why cordova documentation didn't mention this but anyway i solved it now;

• Hi, can you add the platform where you got this error code? – Nicolas R Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 12:28
• @NicolasR in windows phone – Idrees Khan Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 12:29
• Windows Phone 8? 8.1? – Nicolas R Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 12:30
• windows phone 8 because by default, cordova plugin for visual studio start wp 8 simulator but i deploy to wp8.1 still the same error – Idrees Khan Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 12:31
• Maybe you can try to list the directories in your storage to ensure that you really are where you think you are, like the OP of this question did: stackoverflow./questions/24600166/… Thats sounds basic, but with all the isolatedStorage part in WP, maybe you should check – Nicolas R Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 12:53

I just posted an answer to a similar question with working code example here: Loading an array stored in a text file in phonegap

I think Abhishek's answer is quite helpful by the way.

Error is reported because fileSystem.root.getFile is not able to find index.html at location pointed by LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT. You can log fileSystem.root.fullPath to find the path where fileSystem.root.getFile() is looking into in your device or system.

Your apps files like index.html are not stored or dropped at LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT unless it is explicitly copied there. You can find more detail on where LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT points in SO question Where does LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT point to?

Try:

var path = "./index.html";

You should concatenate the filesystem.root.name and your current path to create an absoulte path to the location of the file relative to the phone file system, then pass that into the path parameter of fileSystem.root.getFile. Right now your path is inplete. Hope it helps!!
