What would cause java.io.FIleNotFoundException (access is denied)?

Question

I am trying to save an extent report to my documents folder. I am getting an access is denied problem.

I have tried giving java full control, through all the user groups. I have given jetbrains full control as well but still access is denied.

This is where I am trying to save the file.

    public void beforeSuite() {
        extent = ExtentManager.createInstance("MobileCustomerCare_" + fileName + ".html");
        ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(System.getProperty("user.home") + "//Documents/ExtentReport//");

        extent.attachReporter(htmlReporter);

I have added the ExtentManager class where the instance gets created

public class ExtentManager {

    private static ExtentReports extent;
    private static String fileName = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm").format(new Date());


    static ExtentReports createInstance(String fileName) {
        ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(fileName);
        htmlReporter.config().setTestViewChartLocation(ChartLocation.BOTTOM);
        htmlReporter.config().setChartVisibilityOnOpen(true);
        htmlReporter.config().setTheme(Theme.DARK);
        htmlReporter.config().setDocumentTitle(fileName);
        htmlReporter.config().setEncoding("utf-8");
        htmlReporter.config().setReportName(fileName);

        extent = new ExtentReports();
        extent.attachReporter(htmlReporter);

        return extent;
    }
}

EDIT: I have now changed to use ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(System.getProperty("user.home") + "//Documents/ExtentReport//"); But still getting (access is denied)

I am expecting it to save the file in the location specified. What it's actually doing is saving it in my project.

Could you show us exactly how your code that saves the file looks? Should be some lines in the `ExtendHtmlReporter`... — deHaar, Mar 26 '19 at 11:17
Try an other path, maybe it must be a file path, not a directory or vice versa. — Joop Eggen, Mar 26 '19 at 11:23
Change the line to ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(System.getProperty("user.home") + "\Documents\ExtentReport\"); — Dhamo, Mar 27 '19 at 22:50

I think there is no path separator between the folder name and the file name, please try adding a path separator while creating ExtentHtmlReporter Object

ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter("C:\\Users\\tom.cockram\\Documents\\ExtentReport\\");

Try not to keep spaces in the file name, it will help you in future

public static ExtentReports getInstance() {
    if (extent == null)
        createInstance("MobileCustomerCare_" + fileName + ".html");

        return extent;
    }

Unfortunately I still get the same problem with adding _ to the end of my file names – Tom Cockram Mar 26 '19 at 11:39
did you add `C:\\Users\\tom.cockram\\Documents\\ExtentReport\\\` as well ? I think the main problem is there – Avinash Mar 26 '19 at 11:56
I did also add that unfortunately. – Tom Cockram Mar 26 '19 at 12:02
