Unable to read plist into CCArray

[saudahmed]

Reading a plist into the CCArray returns a Null value. After debugging into the code I found out it is unable to read data into the buffer. An asset like .png works perfectly.

the code is simple, it works on other branch.

const char *path = CCFileUtils::sharedFileUtils()->fullPathFromRelativePath("BatchNode.plist");
CCArray * parray = CCArray::createWithContentsOfFile(path);

// read the file from hardware
hFile = ::CreateFile2(path.c_str(), GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, OPEN_EXISTING, &extendedParams);
if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == hFile) {
break;
}

In above code present in CCFileUtils_win8_metro.cpp it returns 0xffffff and breaks so no data is read to the Buffer. So the buffer is never parsed to store data in the CCArray object and thus gets NULL value.

The plist file attribute of content should be true.

Can you please mention where to change the plist file attribute content to true

select the plist file, right click, property,change the content attribute from false to ture.

Hi Guys!

I am having a big problem with the .plist, because all my contents is out of project solution it is in the root where the cocos 2d creates the folder of project "Project/Resources" and the solution is in "proj.win32" , So the visual studio does not see the Resources folder and I can’t select the .plist to make the content property becomes true =( . Some Idea how can I proceed?

Thx for all!
