Saving a file in a folder (3.5 HTML5)

0 votes

When I try to save a file that has a folder in its path...

    var file = File.new()
    file.open("user://data/save_game.txt", File.WRITE)
    file.store_string("TEST")
    file.close()

...I get an error:

ERROR: File must be opened before use.

I also previously tried creating the folder...

    var dir = Directory.new()
    dir.open("user://data/")
    dir.close()

... the error is still the same.

What did I forget to do?

My mistake. Issue resolved. It was just necessary to create the directory like this before writing the file:

var dir = Directory.new()
dir.make_dir("user://data/")
