[LUA][Error(?)] Code wont work.

So, I am making a "saving/loading" thing for my OS (MackOS)

But I get the text "Login failed" even though the login info is correct.
Why?
What am I doing wrong?

Code:

function login()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Username:"))/2, 1)
print("Logging in")
term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Username:"))/2, 4)
write("Username: ")
usrName = read()
term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Password:"))/2, 6)
write("Password: ")
local pass = read("*")

local file2 = fs.open("users/"..usrName.."/bg", "r")
local logoPath = file2.readLine()
logo = paintutils.loadImage(logoPath)
file2.close()
file = fs.open("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName,"r")
if not fs.exists("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName) then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Login failed"))/2, 2)
print("Login failed")
sleep(1)
term.clear()
drawDesktop()
elseif fs.exists("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName) then
local fileData = {}
local line = file.readLine()
repeat
table.insert(fileData, line)
line = file.readLine()
until line == nil -- readLine()
file.close()
local passFromFile = fileData[1]
if pass == passFromFile then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Login succeded!"))/2, 2)
print("Login succeded!")
sleep(1)
term.clear()
drawDesktop2()
else
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Login failed!"))/2, 2)
print("Login failed!")
sleep(1)
term.clear()
drawDesktop()
end
end
end

From which block is it failing? THe first if or the elseif?

the login info is correct

What makes you sure about that exactly?

It would error here if the username didn't exist…

local file2 = fs.open("users/"..usrName.."/bg", "r") local logoPath = file2.readLine() logo = paintutils.loadImage(logoPath) file2.close()

Therefor answers my question… Add some debug lines, try this:

function login()
    term.clear()
    term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Logging in")/2), 1) -- was checking the length of Username: :?
    write("Logging in")
    term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Username:")/2), 4) -- you had the brackets wrong. you were using math.floor on an integer all the time, the /2 needs to be inside
    write("Username: ")
    local usrName = read()
    term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Password:")/2), 6)
    write("Password: ")
    local pass = read("*")

    if not fs.exists("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName) then
        term.clear()
        term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Login failed"))/2, 2)
        print("Login failed")
    elseif fs.exists("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName) then
        -- if the username exists, shouldn't the bg file exist too?
        local file2 = fs.open("users/"..usrName.."/bg", "r")
        local logoPath = file2.readLine()
        logo = paintutils.loadImage(logoPath)
        file2.close()

        local file = fs.open("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName,"r") -- Only open if it exists..
        local fileData = {} -- if the file has only the password, there is no point of this :P/>
        for line in file.readLine do -- cleaner way, i think this is right. If not try adding the () after readLine
            table.insert(fileData,line)
        end
        file.close()

        local passFromFile = fileData[1]
        if pass == passFromFile then
            term.clear()
            term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Login succeded!"))/2, 2)
            print("Login succeded!")
        else
            term.clear()
            term.setCursorPos(math.floor(w-string.len("Login failed!"))/2, 2)
            print("Login failed!")
            error( pass .. " - " .. passFromFile ) -- debug line, if it reaches here, check what the variables are
        end
    end
    -- put this here so you don't have to repeat it all the time
    sleep(1)
    term.clear()
    drawDesktop()
end

local file2 = fs.open("users/"..usrName.."/bg", "r") local logoPath = file2.readLine() logo = paintutils.loadImage(logoPath) file2.close()

It wouldn't if the directory itself did exsist but the file inside with the same name didn't.

if not fs.exists("users/"..usrName.."/"..usrName) then
