File size not returned since 6.30 update

[Tim_Buktu]

I have an application writing incoming data to a rootfile’s tree, i.e. I am filling a tree in a loop and at the end writing the tree to the file. I have a checkpoint where I check if the file’s size is exceeding a certain threshold. I keep checking the file size in my loop with

file->GetSize()

Everything was working great in Root 6.24 but since I upgraded to 6.30 this call always return 0 although in the end I get a correctly written file. I don’t understand.

I do not see this problem with ROOT master:

% root -n

Sorry, you can close or delete this post it was just a stupid mistake of mine I failed to see. Everything is working as expected now.
