printing the path to a file

[markww]

Hi,

I've got a local html file I'm displaying in a UIWebView. I set that up like:

    [m_webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"html"]isDirectory:NO]]];

Now inside test.html, I want to import a javascript file which is also just in my main project directory, I tried this inside the html:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="test.js"></script>

but that does not work, I guess I have to give it the absolute path to the javascript file. I tried doing this to figure it out:

NSString* info = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"js"]isDirectory:NO] absoluteString];
NSLog(info);

but I get some wild characters printed out to the console. How do you print out the absolute path correctly?

Thanks

Ok so it seems this is the correct way to print the path:

NSString* info = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"html"];

so that will give me the path which is excellent, but when I try that for my "test.js" file, it just prints an empty string, so I'm assuming that means my js file cannot be found.

Now I notice when building my project, I get this warning about the js file:

warning: no rule to process file '$(PROJECT_DIR)/test.js' of type text for architecture i386

so is the simulator considering the js file as not present? How can I resolve that warning? I get it if I change the extension to .txt as well. Doesn't appear for .html files though.

Thankyou

Alright so I see XCode was trying to add the javascript file to the compiled sources folder. Deleted it from there, and moved it into the Copy Bundle Resources folder.

Now it appears with at the same location as my html file, I'm printing the paths and get:

2008-11-26 15:36:47.885 myapp[2729:20b] /Users/mark/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/1CC029F4-AF6B-4E19-91BR-66DA276F83B5/myapp.app/test.html
2008-11-26 15:36:47.890 myapp[2729:20b] /Users/mark/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/1CC029F4-AF6B-4E19-91BR-66DA276F83B5/myapp.app/test.js

But referencing it in that html file still fails, again, doing:

src="test.js"

but no luck.

I think that one of the webview methods for loading files allows you to set the base dir. You need to set that in order for relative paths to work in an html file.
