stat and deleteFile say file does not exist for files in scoped storage in an SD card #54

react-native: 0.66.1 react-native-file-access: 2.4.4 Platform: Android 11

Bug I can't seem to delete files from scoped storage on an external SD card.

I'm trying to delete a file in scoped storage with:

await FileSystem.unlink('content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/01F6-AC3F%3APodverse/document/01F6-AC3F%3APodverse/D9_Zc6_nz.mp3')

But I get the error message:

Error: 'content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/01F6-AC3F%3APodverse/document/01F6-AC3F%3APodverse/D9_Zc6_nz.mp3' does not exist.

I get the same error message when I call:

await FileSystem.stat('content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/01F6-AC3F%3APodverse/document/01F6-AC3F%3APodverse/D9_Zc6_nz.mp3')

@alpha0010 just fixed a different issue with calling await FileSystem.cp(...) with SD card scoped storage. Could there be corresponding fixes needed for stat and deleteFile?

I have also tried deleting these files with react-native-fs and react-native-scoped-storage. react-native-fs failed to delete the file because of an access issue. react-native-scoped-storage has a different bug where it deletes the whole directory instead of the file specified 🤦‍♂️

Yes, looks like the same problem as #52 hits these other APIs as well.

Can you try react-native-file-access@beta? One key difference is if you are using a scoped storage uri, you must use AndroidScoped.appendPath(dir, 'data.txt') instead of dir + '/data.txt' when generating paths.

It's working! 🥳 thanks so much for the quick fix!
