realm init bug

[zhengxiaozhu]

What happened?

When I initialize realm。 My code looks like this final config = Configuration.local([ xxx.schema, ]); _realm = Realm(config); When I don't specify a path，It works on the emulator and on the iphone.But on Android phones, you get an error。This error is random，The odds are about 80 percent。Errors are as follows。

It is strange that，Call the following code before I initialize it, and the error will disappear。

await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();

Repro steps

1. Future main() async { WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); await RealmService.instance.init(); runApp(const MyApp()); }

2. class RealmService{

RealmService._privateConstructor();

static final RealmService _instance = RealmService._privateConstructor();

static RealmService get instance => _instance;

late Realm _realm;

Realm get realm => _realm;

Future init() async { final config = Configuration.local([ xxxx.schema ]); _realm = Realm(config); }

void close() { _realm.close(); }

}

Can you try to specify an explicit path for the config on Android? Seems like for some reason it gets resolved to the root of the filesystem and naturally, your app doesn't have permissions to write there.

If I specify the default path, does it mean that the data in the user's phone will be lost? Thank you for your reply 😁
