[jira] [Updated] (CB-4319) localStorage database is deleted when restarting app on OSX

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4319?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Adam George updated CB-4319:
----------------------------

    Description: 
There are still issues with the localStorage database on OSX.

There is a recent ticket which dealt with a similar issue, and says that the localStorage changes are now persisting on OSX:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-456

However, in my tests, the localStorage is still not working correctly. There appears to be a bug where when restarting the app, the localStorage database is relocated on the filesystem.


This is my test case:

    1) Start new Cordova-OSX 2.9.0 app. When starting the app, the localStorage datafile exists at ~/Library/Application Support/myapp/file__0.localstorage

    2) Make some changes to localStorage in my app. I can open file__0.localstorage in SQLite, and see that those changes are there.

    3) Close app. Stop X-Code. Changes in file__0.localstorage are still there.

    4) Restart app. App can read my localStorage changes when it boots. HOWEVER, I notice that the  ~/Library/Application Support/myapp/file__0.localstorage file is now missing from the filesystem...

       If I make any changes to localStorage, those changes are being written somewhere... but not into the ~/Library/Application Support/myapp/file__0.localstorage

    5) Restart app again. App generates a new db in ~/Library/Application Support/myapp/file__0.localstorage, and the changes that I did in 2) are now lost.
