Hello Guys, I try to write something to my add-on package, but I always get
permission denied error. I have no problem to open file with
fopen(“.\\data\\test.txt”, “rb”);. But I can’t get the write permission with
fopen(“.\\data\\test.txt”, “wb”);. I search sdk, it look like I need to use
“\work” to get the write permission, but I also have no luck with
fopen(“\work\data\\test.txt”, “wb”);, strerror() return “permission denied”.
Please let me know if I miss anything, thanks
Hi, Indeed, to access a file, all of your paths must start with “\\work” such
as
fopen("\\work\\file.txt", "w");
If you need a subfolder, you have to create one using mkdir before everything
else
#include
mkdir("\\work\\data", -1);
fopen("\\work\\data\\file.txt", "w");
Don’t forget to use "\" as path separator in your path. If you don’t, it
won’t work at all or you might have strange file architecture. Best regards

How do functions like SimConnect_AICreateEnrouteATCAircraft() access files in
“\\work” when used in a WASM module? Just plain “\\work\\flightplan.pln”
does not seem to work.
Thanks Maxime, but i still have problem to write file. Here is my code:
mkdir(“\\work\\data”, -1); FILE *hFile=fopen(“\\work\\data\\file.txt”,
“wb+”);//strerror(errno) return “Not a tty” message if(hFile) { char
Char[32]=“this is test string”; size_t Len=fwrite(Char, 1, strlen(Char)+1,
hFile); fseek(hFile, 0, SEEK_SET); char Buf[32]=“”; Len=fread(Buf, 1,
strlen(Char)+1, hFile);//I can confirm fread can get the “this is test
string”, no error here fclose(hFile);//no file been saved at my data folder
hFile=NULL; } Although fopen return a valid pointer, but strerror(errno)
display a error message “Not a tty”. fwrite() and fread() are all ok, I can
see fread return the right string, but file.txt did not created at my data
folder. If there are any other function I need to call to create a file at my
folder? Thanks!
Hi, I tested your code and it works well. If fopen, fwrite and fread work that
means your file is created (the errno code is strange, i m going to
investigate but it shouldn t be a problem). Maybe you don t look at the
correct location. Your “work” folder will be created in the same folder as
your dll/pdb/natvis/… files. (not in your PackageSources folder) If I may
make a comment about your code, you should be careful about
strlen(Char) + 1
because you re going to write unwanted data in your file Best regards Maxime /

Hi Maxime, I have find my file, fwrite() create it to
E:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-329881680-581370512-3514210937-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\mycompany-
aircraft-wasm-gauge\work\file.txt I’m not sure, is it right? Thanks!
Hi, Sorry for being late. Are you using SampleWasmModule project as a base of
your addon? If so, it explains “mycompany-aircraft-wasm-gauge” in your path.
Otherwise, it s strange.

Hi Maxime, my fs2020 is not install at default folder, it install at
E:\FS2020. I think that cause the problem. Thanks!
