file.modified always returns null

[jasonp49818280]

No matter what I do, I always have the modified returned as null. I am trying to get the modified date of two different files, and if the file is older then then server version it replaces the the older one with the new one. (Making something to update all our team scripts instead of me sending out a new JSX file and instructions each time)

here is the super simple code I am using to test though

var myFile = File ("~/Desktop/Test.png")

$.writeln("Is File: " + String(myFile instanceof File))

$.writeln("Exist: " + String(myFile.exists))

$.writeln("modified: " + String(File( myFile).modified));

and my results are

Is File: true

Exist: true

modified: null

any idea why its doesnt think its a file?

I used 

$.writeln("modified: " + myFile.modified);

Is File: true
Exist: true
modified: Fri Apr 02 2021 19:09:24 GMT-0700

but your script also worked as is

(I'm on Windows)

I tried this on my Mac and it returns null. I even checked the file properties in the VS Code debugger and both `created` and `modified` are null.  I set a file as a var and also picked a file using `openDialog()` and got the same results. Seems, it may be implemented on Windows but not on Mac.

or perhaps Mac changed their file system again
