• lime build hl -debug and rename bin to фыва (non ascii cyryllic chars).
• try to run app
• get this error

Lime 8.1.1

[T1mL3arn]

I was able to trace it to this

lime/src/lime/system/System.hx

Line 457 in f8a7044

path = @:privateAccess String.fromUTF8(NativeCFFI.lime_system_get_directory(type, null, null));

It returns wrong path if directory contains cyrillic chars.

Placing trace('cwd: ${Sys.getCwd()}'); before this prints desired directory with correct cyrillic name.

--- update

Temp workarounds:

• [hashlink] change __getDirectory() to return cwd: path = haxe.io.Path.normalize(Sys.getCwd())
• [hashlink] provide custom ManifestResources.hx with <template path="Source/ManifestResources.hx" rename="../haxe/ManifestResources.hx" /> and in this custom file get cwd the same way

  #elseif (console || sys)
  rootPath = lime.system.System.applicationDirectory;
  rootPath = haxe.io.Path.normalize(Sys.getCwd()) + '/';
  #else

• [cpp] provide custom ManifestResources.hx with rootPath = "./"

[tobil4sk]

It returns wrong path if directory contains cyrillic chars.

Sounds like it's related to #1472

[tobil4sk]

Hi, on linux and windows with -hl I tested this patch which allows lime_system_get_directory to return a correctly encoded string: #1974.

Would you be able to test if this patch solve the issue for you?

[tobil4sk]

I'll close, assuming this is solved in develop with the linked patch.

Before that patch, I am able to reproduce the error with an empty lime app running on hl:

And after the patch, it runs without issues.

Feel free to reopen if this hasn't solved it for you!
