Error when trying to copy file

I'm trying to copy a temp file to another location using NSFileManager. However it's failing and complaining that one of the files does not exists.

 //Copy temp file
    NSError *error;
    BOOL exists = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:chapterFileTemp];
    exists = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:chapterFile];

    [fileManager copyItemAtURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:chapterFileTemp]
                         toURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:chapterFile]
                         error:&error];

    //Delete temp path
    [fileManager removeItemAtURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:chapterFileTemp] error:&error];

I'm getting error at copy operation

(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 260.)" UserInfo=0x1c5190b0 {NSFilePath=/var/mobile/Applications/57727CCD-88AD-4D84-8C78-EA8100645C9B/Documents/119/myFileTemp.temp, NSUnderlyingError=0x1c527960 "The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory").

Now the first BOOL returns YES, and the second one NO. Which is expected.

What could be the reason for failure

Thanks.

Solution

  • This is possible when the destination path is missing the directory. Make sure that the place at which you want to copy the source file is containing all required directory.
