This code was erroring:

	var DiskQuery = DirectoryList
		( Arguments.RootDir&Arguments.Location
		, false
		, "query"
		, FilterGlob
		, Arguments.Sort
		, 'file'
		);

Error message:

	An error occurred when performing a file operation listFiles on file /path/to/directory.
	The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException: Could not find files in "file:////SERVER-L01/DFS-01/path/to/directory"..

After much debugging, it turns out the issue was FilterGlob being an empty string; hard-coding an empty string at this location gave the error.

Replacing the argument with the following made the code work:

	len(FilterGlob)?FilterGlob:'*'


However, this code in another location - where the same argument is a hard-coded empty string - was not erroring:

	var path = 'file://SERVER-L01/DFS-01/path/to/directory';
	var DiskQuery = DirectoryList
		( path
		, false
		, "query"
		, ''
		, 'type asc'
		, 'file'
		);

There are 2 issues here: 1) directoryList() and <cfdirectory action="list"> fail for file:// paths when recurse=false and filter="" (or " ") 2) CF translates file://host to file:////host (I'll log a separate ticket for this) Steps to reproduce: 1) Create C:\ticketCF-3863993 and share it as ticketCF-3863993 2) Create C:\ticketCF-3863993\myfile.txt 3) Run the following code: <cfscript> //These fail writeDump(directoryExists("file://localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993"));//Returns NO q = directoryList("file://localhost/ticketCF-3863993", false, "query", "");//Throws exception: Could not find files in "file:////localhost/ticketCF-3863993/" writeDump(q); q = directoryList("file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993", false, "query", "");//Throws exception: Could not find files in "file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993" writeDump(q); q = directoryList("file://localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993", true, "query", "");//Throws exception: The specified directory file:////localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993 does not exist. writeDump(q); q = directoryList("file://localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993", false, "query", "");//Throws exception: The specified directory file:////localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993 does not exist. writeDump(q); //These succeed writeDump(directoryExists("file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993"));//Returns YES q = directoryList("file://localhost/ticketCF-3863993", true, "query", ""); writeDump(q); q = directoryList("file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993", true, "query", ""); writeDump(q); </cfscript> <!--- These fail ---> <cfdirectory action="list" name="q" directory="file://localhost/ticketCF-3863993" recurse="no" filter=""><!--- Throws exception: Could not find files in "file:////localhost/ticketCF-3863993/" ---> <cfdump var="#q#"> <cfdirectory action="list" name="q" directory="file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993" recurse="no" filter=""><!--- Throws exception: Could not find files in "file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993" ---> <cfdump var="#q#"> <cfdirectory action="list" name="q" directory="file://localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993" recurse="yes" filter=""> <cfdump var="#q#"><!--- Returns 0 results ---> <cfdirectory action="list" name="q" directory="file://localhost/C:/ticketCF-3863993" recurse="no" filter=""> <cfdump var="#q#"><!--- Returns 0 results ---> <!--- These succeed ---> <cfdirectory action="list" name="q" directory="file://localhost/ticketCF-3863993" recurse="yes" filter=""> <cfdump var="#q#"> <cfdirectory action="list" name="q" directory="file:///C:/ticketCF-3863993" recurse="yes" filter=""> <cfdump var="#q#">

Hi Adobe, I've verified this is fixed in CF2016 Update 1 (build 2016.0.01.298513). Empty filter no longer triggers an exception. Thanks!, -Aaron
