Here is the command that is broken:
fs.writeFileSync('Metadata.json', metadataString);
console.log("Metadata written.");
I have placed a breakpoint and verified that metadataString is actually a string. The console logs Metadata written just fine and the file stays empty...
Not sure what else I can check... Thanks in advance.
fs.writeFileSync() throws an Error exception if it fails. Use a try/catch block:
try {
fs.writeFileSync('Metadata.json', metadataString);
} catch (err) {
console.log('Error writing Metadata.json:' + err.message)
}
I have the same problem, fs.writeFile instead of fs.writeFileSync and it worked.
In your solution, it might be:
fs.writeFileSync('Metadata.json', metadataString, (err) => {
if (err) console.log(err);
});
You can use writeFileSync for the same and pass your string and add encoding:'utf8' though it is default. And For Error Handling you can always put try catch block. Also put an await till your string data is loaded.(In case If you are using a larger data set)
try {
let yourString = `{"HI":"This is Test Creating A File"}`;
fs.writeFileSync(fileName, await yourString, { encoding: 'utf8' });
} catch (error) {
console.log('File Creation Error',error);
}
PS: Don't forget to import fs from 'fs';
Metadata.jsonand see iffs.writeFileSync()is creating the file or not.
