NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath returns false instead of true


(The code in this answer has been updated for Swift 3 and later.)

Apparently your path variable is a NSURL (describing a file path). To get the path asa string, use the path property, not absoluteString:

let exists = FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: path.path)

absoluteString returns the URL in a string format, includingthe file: scheme etc.

Example:

let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/foo.txt")// This is what you did:print(url.absoluteString)// Output:    file:///path/to/foo.txt// This is what you want:print(url.path)// Output:    /path/to/foo.txt


If you want to check if a path exist,you should check path

let url = NSURL(string: "balabala")let path = url?.path//Check path
