Cannot create link from the given URI based on the folder Path

Question

Hi,I have used the script to get the image link's path. For a month it's working fine in the InDesign previous versions but by using the latest version of InDesign I can't able to retrieve the image path. I have attached the script which I used to retrieve the image pathvar doc = app.activeDocument;
// Loop through all the links in the document
  var link = doc.links[0];
  // Get the file path of the linked image
  var filePath = link.filePath;
  // Create a File object from the file path
  var file = new File(filePath);
  // Get the folder path of the file
   folderPath = file.parent.fsName;

Hi @MonishaRajendran , Did you try checking the returned paths via a $.writeln()? You could simplify with this, but what you have should work.

var doc = app.activeDocument;

//a test link on the desktop
var link = doc.links[0];

//link as a file
var file = new File(link.filePath);

//link file’s parent folder
var folderPath = file.parent

$.writeln(file)
//returns ~/Desktop/testlink.png

$.writeln(folderPath)
//returns ~/Desktop
