[Ikvm-developers] Problem with File.mkdirs() for files in the root of the filesystem

[Bogdan L. <la...@po...>]

Hi,

There is a problem with the IKVM implementation of VMFile. I have a code 
like this:


import java.io.*;

public class filetest
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         File f = new File("C:\\myfile.txt");
         File parentFile = f.getParentFile();
         if (parentFile != null) {
             parentFile.mkdirs();
         }
     }
}

Basically it should do nothing (if the C:\ drive is available) however 
when I run this example after converting java code into .NET I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
         at java.io.VMFile.mkdir (VMFile.java:196)
         at java.io.File.mkdir (File.java:1001)
         at java.io.File.mkdirs (File.java:1018)
         at filetest.main (filetest.java:10)

Can you please fix it?

Thanks!

Regards,
Bogdan
