Unable to copy file from bundle to Documents directory, why does fileExistsAtPath return error?

Question

I'm using the following snippet of code to attempt to copy a file from my application resources directory into the Documents area. I have used the below from the PocketOCR project on Github : ``` // Set up the tessdata path. This is included in the application bundle // but is copied to the Documents directory on the first run. NSString *dataPath = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"]; NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSLog(@"Datapath is %@", dataPath); // If the expected store doesn't exist, copy the default store. if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dataPath ]) { NSLog(@"File didn't exist at datapath..."); // get the path to the app bundle (with the tessdata dir) NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]; NSString *tessdataPath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"]; if (tessdataPath) { [fileManager copyItemAtPath:tessdataPath toPath:dataPath error:NULL]; } } ``` This is the ou…

Accepted Answer

```
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;

NSString *dataPath = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"];
NSLog(@"Datapath is %@", dataPath);

// If the expected store doesn't exist, copy the default store.    
    if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dataPath] == NO)
    {
        NSString *tessdataPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"eng" ofType:@"traineddata"];
        [fileManager copyItemAtPath:tessdataPath toPath:dataPath error:&error];

}

-(NSString*) applicationDocumentsDirectory{
    // Get the documents directory
    NSArray *dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *docsDir = [dirPaths objectAtIndex:0];
    return docsDir;
}
```
