Not passing verification

Question about the task

Under discussion

I am unsure why I am not passing the verification, because when I write:

B:\Documentos\temp.txt
Line1
Line2
Line3
exit

I end up having the file as requested, I also tried changing line 32 by

content = content + newline;

with identical results.

1. Read a file name from the console.
2. Read lines from the console until the user enters the "exit".
3. Write all the entered lines to the file, each on a new line.

Requirements:

The program must read the file name from the console.
Create and use a BufferedWriter object.
The program should not read anything from the file system.
The program must read lines from the console until the user enters "exit".
The program must write absolutely all of the entered lines (including "exit") to the file, each on a new line.
The main method should close the BufferedWriter object after using it.

package com.codegym.task.task13.task1319; import java.io.*; /* Writing to a file from the console */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { // write your code here BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String filepath = ""; String content = ""; String newline = ""; BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out)); try { filepath = br.readLine(); newline = br.readLine(); while (!newline.equals("exit")){ content = content + newline + "\n"; newline = br.readLine(); } content = content + newline+ "\n"; File file = new File(filepath); if (!file.exists()){ file.createNewFile(); } FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file); bw = new BufferedWriter(fw); bw.write(content); } catch (Exception e){ System.out.println(e); } finally { bw.close(); br.close(); } } }

May be the way how validation works... I'd first try not to use File.exists and File.createNewFile instead just leave that to the Writer object.

/*
            File file = new File(filepath);
            if (!file.exists()){
                file.createNewFile();
            }
*/
            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(filepath);

or it's to do with CR, LF. Then you could try a System.lineSeparator() instead of the \n or you write each line directly inside the loop and wrap around your FileWriter a BufferedWriter, then you can use newLine() or you use a PrintWriter, then you have a println method or...
