Hi,
I need to be able to export content to a clean directory. When I export content to a directory that used to exist, I need to wipe and clean to replace everything with new content.
However, I am getting io-errors: Stopped at
/Applications/basex/webapp/How2_StaticHTML.xqm, 738/30:
[io-error] Path '/.DocumentRevisions-V100' cannot be deleted.
Is there anyway from the basex side to allow deletion of hidden files or do I have to disable revisions on my computer, so these files never get created in the first place? The second option seems rather drastic.
Hello France,
are you sure you have the required rights to deleted this file with the user executing BaseX? Id did a quick test and had not trouble deleted a hidden file. Furthermore, I did a quick look into the code and deleting works using the java.io.file.delete() function, so its seems not to be related to BaseX.
Cheers, Dirk

If you want to completely wipe a directory, I’d go for deleting and recreating the directory itself anyway (given you can write to the parent folder).
Yet I’m still curios about the path in the error message, are you really trying to wipe the file system root or did you remove some part of the path?
Hi,
I can delete the .DS_Store hidden file, but apparently not the version file.
The code has nothing special:
*if* (*file:exists*(*$file-sys-destination*)) *then **file:delete*(*$file-sys-destination*, *true*()) *else *()
where $file-sys-destination is a path to a folder in the form publication/model/os/carrier/lang.
I upgraded to Maverick and to BaseX 7.8 at 2 days interval so I'm not 100% sure which one is making a difference here. I'll run some more tests once I get 7.8.1 running. I'm still on 7.8.

Hi France,
as Jens correctly pointed out your file path "/.DocumentRevisions-V100" looks rather suspicious and I guess you neither want to delete this file nor you can without sudo rights. This is in the root folder and in general you don't want to delete these files as it could corrupt your system. Are you _really_ sure you want to delete these files?
This also explains why you can delete .DS_Store files as these should be deleteable with normal user privileges. Maybe there is a symlink within your folder to this directory (I don't have OS X nor do I have any knowledge about it, so I actually have no idea). I very much doubt that an update to BaseX 7.8 (or now to 7.8.1) did make any difference as this is file system related. If you upgraded your OS, this could in fact make a difference (once again: I guess, as this is OS X specific).
Please take a look at the file permissions and check if the user has the required permissions to delete this file.
Cheers, Dirk

The issue was when users click the button without selecting an item. The function received an empty parameter and was in fact trying to delete the root, not a hidden file in our export folder.
For all the times I get mad at security, it saved me a huge headache this time.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
