Description

Hello,

I'm working with the filesystem plugin and i've an issue on iOS.

I need to open a filesystem on the Library/NoCloud directory, the documentation on github says that we should set these two variable in the config.xml:

<preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Library" />
<preference name="iosExtraFilesystems" value="library-nosync" />

But when i request the filesystem it gave me this path: Library/files , and i'm unable to move to Library/NoCloud because the root is files.

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fs)

{ console.log("init fs sucess"); }

,function(error)

{ console.log("Error init fs"+ error.code); }

);

I don't know if it's a bug or i've misinterpreted the documentation.

To reproduce it, you can:
-> create a test app
-> install the file system plugin
-> set these two variable in config.xml:
<preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Library" />
<preference name="iosExtraFilesystems" value="library-nosync" />
-> request the file system, the path is: Library/files

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Thibault
