I'm getting this error when attempting to create a text file:

 

[ERROR][05/02 09:37:33 AM]: Uncaught exception!

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "C:\Users\John\Desktop\Area\Area661830290.txt" "write")

 

My script was working fine yesterday. The only things that have changed was updating from...

jdk1.8.0_65 to jre1.8.0_91 

and

OSBot 2.4.53 to OSBot 2.4.58

 

now my script create a text file in a directory that it has many times before.

 

does anyone know how I can fix this?

Read the last updates on the dev builds from .54 to .57 and .58. IO is no longer allowed outside the user.home\OSBot\Data directory.

i think osbot doesn't allow you to  write anything outside of the osbot folder

Thanks for the super quick reply guys.

 

I changed my path from 

 

C:\Users\John\Desktop\Area

 

to 

 

C:\Users\John\OSBot\Data\Area

 

it's working fine.

File myFile = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")  + "/OSBot/Data/JGhost/Area/Area661830290.txt"

File myFile = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")  + "/OSBot/Data/JGhost/Area/Area661830290.txt"

 

Even better!

 

In case I needed to share my script, it wouldn't adapt well the way I current have it; using absolute path. Using System.getProperty would definitely work a lot better. Thanks for sharing
