Failed creating setting storage : no such directory

[qjson]

Describe the bug:

When starting the fyne_demo program on Ubuntu 20.04 I get the following error (real name hidden):

2021/02/24 14:53:59 Fyne error:  Unable to create settings storage:
2021/02/24 14:53:59   Cause: mkdir /home/xxx/.config/fyne/io.fyne.demo: no such file or directory
2021/02/24 14:53:59   At: /home/xxx/go/src/fyne.io/fyne/v2/app/settings_desktop.go:30
2021/02/24 14:53:59 Fyne error:  Settings watch error:
2021/02/24 14:53:59   Cause: no such file or directory
2021/02/24 14:53:59   At: /home/xxx/go/src/fyne.io/fyne/v2/app/settings_desktop.go:19

The reason is because fyne/app/v2/settings_desktop.go:28 in branch 2.0.x contains err := os.Mkdir(dir, 0700).

The required change to fix it: Change line into err := os.MkdirAll(dir, 0700). This will create all the missing directories in the path if they don’t exist.

I don’t know how to provide a PR because I’m new to fyne and still a bit confused by the code organization (branches).

To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Erase or rename the ~/.config/fyne directory I didn’t have.
2. Start fyne_demo installed by this command go get fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne_demo as suggested in the documentation.
3. See error

Device (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• Version: Ubuntu 20.04
• Go version: go1.15.7 and
• Fyne version: v2.0.0 (don’t know where to find it) got it by doinq git tag in ~/go/src/fyne.io/fyne/v2

Thanks, merged to develop and will be in v2.0.1 release.

this issue does not seem to be resolved even with latest version. Happens when app ran without sudo on a workstation not owned by the developer

[andydotxyz]

It was resolved, some time ago. What version are you using? Are you running as a user that has access to their own home directory?

Probably best is to open a new bug with your details instead of commenting on this 3 year old one.
