Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3

Device Description

I added these lines to the examples->FFat->FFat_Test at line 182:

if ( FFat.exists( "/hello.txt" ) )
{
  Serial.println( "hello.txt exists");
}
else
{
  Serial.println( "hello.txt does not exist");
}
  
if ( FFat.exists( "/foo.txt" ) )
{
  Serial.println( "foo.txt exists");
}
else
{
  Serial.println( "foo.txt does not exist");
}

I see this in the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor:

...

  • read from file:
    Hello World!
    [ 6785][E][vfs_api.cpp:104] open(): /ffat/hello.txt does not exist, no permits for creation
    foo.txt does not exist
    foo.txt exists
    Listing directory: /
    FILE: foo.txt SIZE: 14
    ...

I expected file.exists() would return an error.

Hardware Configuration

SD NAND card on the SPI bus with chip select on GPIO 10

Version

latest development Release Candidate (RC-X)

IDE Name

Arduino IDE 1.8.10

Operating System

MacOS 12.3.1

Flash frequency

40

PSRAM enabled

no

Upload speed

115200

Description

I initialize the Serial object with:
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
delay(5000);

exists() does not seem to return a boolean value when the file does not exist.

Sketch

#include "FS.h"
#include "FFat.h"

// This file should be compiled with 'Partition Scheme' (in Tools menu)
// set to 'Default with ffat' if you have a 4MB ESP32 dev module or
// set to '16M Fat' if you have a 16MB ESP32 dev module.

// You only need to format FFat the first time you run a test
#define FORMAT_FFAT true
