ObjcBool is not convertible to Bool

Did you try with another name : var thisIsFolder : ObjBool = false

This is fallout from the removal of the

Boolean

The direct fix is to write this:

var b = ObjCBool(false)

However, a better option is to use a more Swift-friendly API, one that doesn’t rely on the

ObjCBool

let u = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/")
if let v = try? u.resourceValues(forKeys: [.isDirectoryKey]) {
    if v.isDirectory! {
        print("directory exists")
    } else {
        print("something else exists")
    }
} else {
    print("does not exist")
}

As eskimo noted, the protocol Boolean has been removed from Swift, thus you can use only Bool in conditional expression, no DarwinBoolean nor ObjCBool.

And, in your case "the direct fix" should be something like this:

    if isFolder.boolValue {
        //...
    }

Are you really an eskimo? I'm from Alaska, just wondering

@alaskan907 According to the interview at http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.16/16.06/Jun00FactoryFloor/index.html :

“The epithet "The Eskimo!" is from an old Bob Dylan song, since covered by Manfred Mann amongst others.”
