Dear Simon,
Thanks for the hint, the problem has been fixed [1,2]. We forgot to create the directory because in former times the user data was not stored in the db directory.
Best, Christian

Hello all,
I just faced an issue in my application using BaseX 8.6.4 when trying to create a user.
If the folder that will contain the databases (DBPATH in .basex configuration file) does not exist when you try to create a user, the creation of the “users.xml” file fails.
To reproduce, make sure that the folder defined by DBPATH does not exist, and execute:
final Context ctx = new Context();
try (final Session session = new LocalSession(ctx);) {
session.execute(new CreateUser("USERNAME", "USERPASSWORD"));
}
Then nothing happens. The users.xml file is not created.
While executing this:
final Context ctx = new Context();
try (final Session session = new LocalSession(ctx);) {
session.execute(new CreateDB("TESTDB")); session.execute(new CreateUser("USERNAME", "USERPASSWORD"));}
Works as expected as the CreateDB() command will create the missing folder.
Is it on purpose or was it overlooked?
Best regards
