Adobe XD UXP Plugin API

Hi, I’m trying to use the fs.getFileForSaving() but it doesn’t work!

I’m on win 10 here the sample code:

var fs = require("uxp").storage.localFileSystem;
...
const [file] = await fs.getFileForSaving({ types: [ "txt" ]});
if (!file) {
        return;
}
await file.write("It was a dark and stormy night");

Here the console log errors:

Plugin TypeError: a.lastIndexOf is not a function

I just copied and pasted the sample code from the official doc.

UPDATE: it doesn’t work either on mac os…

We’re in the process of updating the docs here – please try:

const file = await fs.getFileForSaving("yourFile.txt", {types: ["txt"]});

For reference, this is due to the following breaking change listed in the release notes for the 13.0.11 prerelease build:

  • getFileForOpening() returns a File instead of an array if allowMultiple is false (the default value).

So you no longer need the array destructuring ([file] = ...) if you’re only letting the user pick a single file.

That’s a very thorough process you must be going through here. Can’t wait until it’s finished. :crazy_face:
