Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData Falsely Showing My File Exists?
Any .NET developers on MacOS able to help me with an odd issue I'm facing? I'm working on a cli application in which I want to use a config file to persist some user-defined data fields. When the program starts, I check if the config file already exists and if not, to create my app's directory and config file within the Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData directory.
When I run this on Windows, I get expected behavior and can find the directory/file in my AddData\Local directory if File.Exists comes back true. But when I run it on MacOS in debug, the check for the config file's existence is returning true when I can't find the directory nor file in Finder as well as the terminal. It's like it never mde neither the directory or the file inside it. I attached screenshots of the value of the filename to create, and what I see in my Finder. The if-statement ALWAYS returns true but only on MacOS. Finder is set to show hidden items.
It never gets to create the config file because File.Esists keeps coming back true instead of false like I'd expect. I kind of expected this to work on both operating systems because of the special folder in .NET. Any help would be appreciated....
