remove from windows dir ?

[irom77]

How do I put absolute Windows path ?

[binarykitchen]

Haven't tested with Windows yet. But could you try this and and paste the output here?

var result = findRemoveSync('c:\Temp', {test: true});
console.log(result);

If you use a newer Window version, probably try using this path instead:
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Temp (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp)

Not sure here. Maybe some work is needed here to make find-remove truly Windows-compatible.

See below. Not sure why I have to use specific directories. Isn't your code suppose to work on any give directory ?

var result = findRemoveSync('c:\Temp', {test: true});
console.log(result);
var result = findRemoveSync('C:\Users\IrekRomaniuk\AppData\Local\Temp', {test: true});
console.log(result);

and the output is :

[]
[]
Process finished with exit code 0

[irom77]

oh sorry, I just noticed it works fine on windows..what was not working is age.seconds argument, doesn't remove files

var result = findRemoveSync('c:\Temp', {age: {seconds: 3600}, extensions: '.jpg'});
console.log(result);

[]
Process finished with exit code 0

[binarykitchen]

@irom77 have you verified the age of these jpg files? you sure they older than one hour?

var result = findRemoveSync('D:\ftproot\mds_backup2', {test: true});

both findRemoveSync() calls do not have the same parameters, hence you cannot compare like that.

try this:

var result = findRemoveSync('D:\ftproot\mds_backup2', {test: true, age: {seconds: 172800},extensions: '.txt'});
console.log(result);

and share the output here altogether with the contents of that directory. then we can start investigating the problem.

(be careful, if you do a findRemoveSync('D:\ftproot\mds_backup2'); it will delete everything in it)

[irom77]

Here it is:
D:\ftproot\nodejs>more repstat2.js
var findRemoveSync = require('find-remove');
var result = findRemoveSync('D:\ftproot\mds_backup2', {test: true, age: {seconds
: 172800},extensions: '.txt'});
console.log(result);

Right, that's evidence that something is wrong.

It's unfortunate that I have no Windows machine here to reproduce and fix this.

If I were you, I would add some console.log(...) lines in the source code and try again. For example here, inside the important isOlder() function:
https://github.com/binarykitchen/find-remove/blob/master/find-remove.js#L126

add console.log('isOlder:', path, ctime, ageSeconds, now)

When the path for the file kernel_debug2.txt appears, paste the console output here.
