DirectoryIterator::getEstimatedProgress() out of bounds

martinrobinson-2 · February 20, 2017, 10:41am

Hello,
I know that DirectoryIterator::getEstimatedProgress() is intended to be a guide but I would expect it to always return a value between 0 and 1. On Windows it seems often to output values > 1.0.

I’m on 4.3.1 on the develop branch although not right up to date.

Here’s a simple example that reproduces it:

#ifndef MAINCOMPONENT_H_INCLUDED
#define MAINCOMPONENT_H_INCLUDED

#include "../JuceLibraryCode/JuceHeader.h"


class MainContentComponent   : public Component,
                               private Button::Listener,
                               private Timer
{
public:
    //==============================================================================
    MainContentComponent()
    {
        chooseFolder.setButtonText ("Choose Folder");
        addAndMakeVisible (chooseFolder);
        chooseFolder.addListener (this);
        
        progress.setMultiLine (true);
        addAndMakeVisible (progress);
        
        setSize (300, 800);
    }
    
    ~MainContentComponent() {}

    void paint (Graphics& g) override
    {
        g.fillAll (Colours::grey);
    }
    
    void resized() override
    {
        Rectangle<int> area (getLocalBounds());
        
        chooseFolder.setBounds (area.removeFromTop (30).reduced (2));
        progress.setBounds(area.reduced (4));
    }
    
private:
    void buttonClicked (Button*) override
    {
        progress.clear();
        
        FileChooser chooser ("Choose a folder to iterater...",
                             File::getSpecialLocation (File::userHomeDirectory),
                             "*.*");
        
        if (chooser.browseForDirectory())
        {
            iter = new DirectoryIterator (chooser.getResult(), true);
            startTimer (1);
        }
    }
    
    void timerCallback() override
    {
        if (! iter->next())
        {
            progress.insertTextAtCaret ("====FINISHED====\n");
            iter = nullptr;
        }
        
        if (iter == nullptr)
        {
            stopTimer();
            return;
        }

        progress.insertTextAtCaret (String ("Progress: ") + String (iter->getEstimatedProgress()) + String ("\n"));
    }
    
    //==========================================================================
    
    TextButton chooseFolder;
    TextEditor progress;
    ScopedPointer<DirectoryIterator> iter;
    
    //==============================================================================
    JUCE_DECLARE_NON_COPYABLE_WITH_LEAK_DETECTOR (MainContentComponent)
};


#endif  // MAINCOMPONENT_H_INCLUDED

Thanks Martin, yes - I’ll add a check to make sure it doesn’t do that. Not sure how it’d happen, but I guess with files you never know whether they’ll be getting deleted/added while you’re iterating them.

I’m pretty sure it was happening on directories that weren’t changing. I’ll do a more detailed step-through to see if I can see what’s going on.
