FileSystem.Data not working

SwagAccount commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug

Whenever I try to use any filesystem.data thing it doesn't work at all. It returns no errors and logs return that I place after it. This is a problem unique to my project and I have no clue what could possibly be happening.

I have tried:

Skipping all my code and just trying to run FileSystem.Data.WriteAllText($"sbox.txt", "kill me"); return; at the top of my function and nothing.
Logging the serialized json into console, returns a complete and correct json.
Creating directories using FileSystem.Data.CreateDirectory, nothing happening.
Changing the games Org.
Changing the games name and indent.

The script + project: https://github.com/SwagAccount/Todd_Howard_Simulator/blob/main/code/EntitySaver.cs

To Reproduce

Use filesystem.data function
Watch as nothing happens

Expected behavior

Making directories, creating files and just working.

If I copy the repo it saves fine on my machine. Scene.json That's the file made.

Are you sure you don't have permissions issues for accessing your steam folders? If you make a new project do you have the same issue? If you play any games with the sbox client, not the editor, does the game successfully make new files in sbox/data?

I'm running in administrator mode. Not working with other projects. Yes.

What on earth is happening?

Maybe windows or my cpu are culprit

E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\sbox\data is my data folder

Found problem. It no longer saves to the drive that sbox is actually in, instead it's always saving to the same path in the ROOT directory

So it's saving in C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\sbox\data?

SwagAccount commented 5 months ago

yes

I tried installing sbox on a different drive and didn't get this issue, is it still happening to you? Have you tried making a new project to see if this issue happens on a fresh project?
