Hey..i have the following method in cocoa..
-(void)startUploadWithContainerName:(NSString *)containerName
{
//Make an object of NSFileManager and Fetch an array of local folder contents and cloud folder contents
NSFileManager *uploadManager=[[NSFileManager alloc] init];
NSString *uploadPath=[[[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"~/Cloud Briefcase"] stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
NSError *err;
NSArray *uploadFolderContents=[uploadManager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:uploadPath error:&err];
ASICloudFilesObjectRequest *cloudList = [ASICloudFilesObjectRequest listRequestWithContainer:containerName];
[cloudList startSynchronous];
NSArray *cloudFolderContents = [cloudList objects];
[cloudList release];
[uploadManager release];
NSLog(@"%lu",[uploadFolderContents count]);
NSLog(@"\n%@\n\n%@",cloudFolderContents,uploadFolderContents);
NSString *notFoundPath;
NSString *foundPath;
NSString *foundCloudMatch;
NSDate *cloudUploadDate;
for (int j=1; j<[uploadFolderContents count]; j++) {
int i=0;
for (int k=0; k<[cloudFolderContents count]; k++) {
if ([[[cloudFolderContents objectAtIndex:k] name] isEqualToString:[uploadFolderContents objectAtIndex:j]]) {
i=1;
foundPath=[uploadFolderContents objectAtIndex:j];
foundCloudMatch=[cloudFolderContents objectAtIndex:k];
cloudUploadDate=[[cloudFolderContents objectAtIndex:k] lastModified];
break;
}
else{
i=0;
notFoundPath=[uploadFolderContents objectAtIndex:j];
continue;
}
}
if (i==1) {
NSLog(@"Found In Cloud: %@",foundPath);
NSString *uploadPath=[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"~/Cloud Briefcase/%@",foundPath] stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
NSTimeZone *tCST=[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"CST"];
NSInteger cloudDifference=[tCST secondsFromGMTForDate:cloudUploadDate];
NSFileManager *typeManager=[[NSFileManager alloc] init];
NSError *Er;
NSDictionary *propertiesOfUploadFile=[typeManager attributesOfItemAtPath:uploadPath error:&Er];
NSDate *localUploadDate=[propertiesOfUploadFile objectForKey:NSFileModificationDate];
NSInteger sourceUploadDifference=[[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone] secondsFromGMTForDate:localUploadDate];
NSLog(@"Local Date %@",localUploadDate);
NSLog(@"Local Difference %ld",sourceUploadDifference);
NSTimeInterval diff=sourceUploadDifference-cloudDifference;
NSTimeInterval sDiff=sourceUploadDifference;
NSDate *lDate=[[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:sDiff sinceDate:localUploadDate];
NSDate *comparisonDate=[[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:diff sinceDate:cloudUploadDate];
NSLog(@"\nSDiff Value %@",lDate);
NSLog(@"Comparison Date %@",comparisonDate);
[localUploadDate release];
[propertiesOfUploadFile release];
[typeManager release];
[tCST release];
if ([comparisonDate compare:lDate]==NSOrderedAscending) {
[comparisonDate release];
[lDate release];
NSLog(@"Got It");
NSString *escString=[foundPath stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
ASICloudFilesObjectRequest *request =
[ASICloudFilesObjectRequest putObjectRequestWithContainer:containerName objectPath:escString contentType:@"file" file:uploadPath metadata:nil etag:nil];
[request startSynchronous];
NSLog(@"Uploaded %@",foundPath);
}
}
else{
NSLog(@"Not Found In Cloud: %@",notFoundPath);
NSString *uploadPath=[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"~/Cloud Briefcase/%@",notFoundPath] stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
// NSLog(@"%@",uploadPath);
NSString *escString=[notFoundPath stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"URL ENCODED VALUE: %@",escString);
ASICloudFilesObjectRequest *request =
[ASICloudFilesObjectRequest putObjectRequestWithContainer:containerName objectPath:escString contentType:@"file" file:uploadPath metadata:nil etag:nil];
[request startSynchronous];
NSLog(@"Upload Complete");
}
}
[uploadPath release];
[cloudList release];
[uploadFolderContents release];
}
But it hangs showing the exception
Received Signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS
Can anyone clear the issue out? the exception occurs at NSLog(@”Found In Cloud: %@”,foundPath);
Typically you would set the environment variable NSZombieEnabled to YES and then troubleshoot the issue.
In your case I see that you have declared pointers without pointing to any object which is dangerous. Running your code in Clang Analyzer would report it as warning.
Set those pointers to nil. You have declared string pointer but in your for loop if the “if” is not true then it goes to else where foundPath is never pointed to anything and you tried to access it in if(i==1)
Update:
Also consider Lou Franco ‘s answer. He is correct too. You don’t own cloudList object. It is autoreleased and you are over-releasing it by passing release message to cloudList object [cloudList release].
In your case it might not crash instantly when you release it because control is in same loop. Once the current threads autorelease pool is drained your code will crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
Update2:
Change the above to
uploadPath in above line still points to autoreleased object. You are leaking a string you have created. Calling release is wrong. So remove [uploadPath release] and also [cloudList release] you are releasing it again and again. And why are you releasing obviously autoreleased object uploadFolderContents ? remove these three lines from your code:
Update3: Fixed over-release issues. And updatePath in if block changed to updatePathLocal where there is a conflict with updatePath variable with scope of method.
