🐞 Files save but end up empty

[zenxdv]

Description

Hey, I ran into a pretty frustrating issue where saving files seems to work… but the contents just don’t actually get written.

To Reproduce

1. Open CodeEdit
2. Create or open a file
3. Type anything into it
4. Save using Cmd + S (or the save option in the menu)
5. Check the file afterward (in Finder or by reopening it)

Expected Behavior

The file should save normally with whatever content I added.

Version Information

macOS version: 26.4
CodeEdit version: v0.3.6

Additional Context

This happened consistently every time I tried saving.

I didn’t check whether CodeEdit had Full Disk Access in macOS Privacy settings before uninstalling, so I’m not sure if that could be related.

If it is a permissions issue, maybe the app could warn about it or document it more clearly.

Screenshots

Quick update: I tried reproducing this after a fresh macOS reinstall, and the issue still happens consistently.

So it doesn’t seem to be caused by leftover configs or a broken local setup. I still didn’t explicitly verify Full Disk Access permissions, but this was on a clean system.
