I just installed commandbox (on win 8.1). I “Run as Administrator” (and also have the checkbox selected in properties), but when I create directories and copy files within commandbox, the files are not accessible via windows, unless i’m in commandbox.
responses from my coldbox thread (sorry about that, i’m in the right place now):
I tested and it worked fine. You might want to check your Windows user permissions.
I am running normal win 8.1, as an administrator, and the commandbox app I both “run as administrator” and also have the “run as administrator” option checked when you go into file properties.
Can you explain what you mean by “not accessible”? I’ve never seen anything like that.
I have seen CB work on another machine just fine, thus my total confusion with what is happening here.
to reexplain, more step by step:
i open commandbox in one window, and dos prompt in another
i cd\www in both windows
i type mkdir testdos in dos window
i type dir in cb window and the directory shows /testdos
i type mkdir testcb in commandbox window
i type dir in dos window and the directory does NOT show /testcb
While it feels like a permissions issue, i can not understand how, since even the cmd.exe i’m running as administrator (not that i need to, since my account is already admin)
If you open the directory in Windows explorer, is the folder there? (Type “open” in the CommandBox console to open Windows explorer in the current working directory)
If you open the directory in Windows explorer, is the folder there?
If I open the windows explorer path directly, then no files seen.
(Type "open" in the CommandBox console to open Windows explorer in the
current working directory)
but when I open the file window up via the open command, I do see the
files.
Why isn't the first one working? Using the open command doesn't help me
much when trying to use my IDE.
I saw on a co-workers computer that the first way should totally work.
I am extremely sure it’s the same directory, c:\www is the parent directory i’m working in.
then within c:\www I create other directories.
if i “mkdir ABC” in windows explorer, then “ls” the www directory within CB, I will see the ABC directory, so it’s definitely the correct parent directory.
