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
