I’m trying out the new `getEntryWithUrl()` method and I’m not having much luck. I’ve included `fs.readdir()` to test the path is working. `readdir` returns the folder contents fine, but `getEntryWithUrl` throws its toys out of the pram with the same path. I also included the example from the documentation for accessing the plugin data folder and it returns the same error. Anyone got this to work yet that can provide some pointers? Or alternatively, is `getEntryWithUrl` pre-release? PS: 24.2.0 API: 2 Manifest: 5 (`fullAccess` granted) ```auto const { app } = require("photoshop"); const fs = require("fs"); const fsp = require("uxp").storage.FileSystemProvider; // Get path to activeDocument folder const doc = app.activeDocument; const path = doc.path.slice(0, doc.path.lastIndexOf("\\")); console.log("paths", path); // Read contents of activeDocument folder const readPathFolder = await fs.readdir(`file:/${path}`); console.log("folders", readPathFolder); // Get entry with url ??? const dataFolder = await fsp.getEntryWithUrl(`plugin-data:/`); const pathFolder = await fsp.getEntryWithUrl(`file:/${path}`); console.log("entries", { dataFolder, pathFolder }); ``` ![x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/2/2497b34c454f1bed6befe1debc44e10c5c2f8205.png) ---

Do not require FileSystemProvider directly, but require its instance, localFileSystem. ```auto const fsp = require("uxp").storage.localFileSystem; ``` ---

@Timothy_Bennett please could you check that my manifest passes all the requirements to use getEntryWithUrl(), I am not succeeding in my attempts.

You’ve added your local `required permissions` field under `host`, you just need to delete that and add `localFileSystem: "full Access"` to the existing `required permissions` field at the top level of the manifest Object: ![IMG_20230227_153636](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/d/d937eb7ba64ca5cc539c42a92eaf4e2f95b24481.jpeg) ---
