{MAKEDIR} failed and don't know why.

[johnhc]

Using WPI 7.6.0 and a {MAKEDIR} failed. The error I got was:

*** Fail *** (returned code undefined): {MAKEDIR}"C:\Documents and Settings\John\Application Data\Thunderbird"

I copied the command from the log file, pasted it into a command prompt, changed the {MAKEDIR} to md and it worked. I am running XP x64. Thanks for your help. Enjoy, John. Edited July 30, 2009 by johnhc

Hmmm lemme try.

Bug confirmed.

[johnhc]

Thanks, Kels. I changed it to

Cmd /C MD "%AppData%\Thunderbird"

and it worked. Enjoy, John.

If that is the exact text from the log file, then you didn't put a space after {MAKEDIR}. It works fine for me.

[johnhc]

mritter, that is the exact text and I don't remember deleting the space, but I just tried it again and it works fine. The space was there, I just added my path and all is OK. Thanks, John.

Nevermind then. 'twas another ghost bug

[johnhc]

Kelsenellenelvian and mritter, I think I understand how I did this. I selected MakeDir, then selected another command to copy the path. When I went back to the {MAKEDIR} command line, the blank after {MAKEDIR} was gone. I will pay more attention. Sorry about that ghost. Enjoy, and thanks, John.

actual code written as

case '{MAKEDIR}':

cmd=("CMD /C " + cmd.replace(/{MAKEDIR}/gi,'md'));

it is works for me, space must be maintained.
