Failed assertion: line 74 pos 12: 'Directory(savedDir).existsSync()': is not true.

See original GitHub issue

I’m doing everything like the repo example:

String localPath = (await _findLocalPath()) + Platform.pathSeparator + 'Download';
          print(localPath);
          await FlutterDownloader.enqueue(
            url: "https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/09/05/10/50/app-1646213_960_720.png",
            savedDir: localPath,
            showNotification: true, // show download progress in status bar (for Android)
            openFileFromNotification: true, // click on notification to open downloaded file (for Android)
          );

localPath printed value is :

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.getinshoot.getinshoot/files/Download

I still have the error:

Failed assertion: line 74 pos 12: ‘Directory(savedDir).existsSync()’: is not true.

Any idea what’s happening?

I forgot to actually create this directory before.

String localPath = (await _findLocalPath()) + Platform.pathSeparator + 'Download';
          final savedDir = Directory(localPath);
          bool hasExisted = await savedDir.exists();
          if (!hasExisted) {
            savedDir.create();
          }

Some delay to after getting localpath solved my problem.
