malformed_path error in Swift
I am attempting to upload a file in Swift. The issue I have is that when I name the file with a string that I define myself, it works.
But when I extract the file from the URL the upload does not work. Here is my code:
let filename = "testfile.pdf"
// example that does not work:
// url is .../something/testfile.pdf
// let filename = url.lastpathcomponent
if let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient {
client.files.upload(path: filename,
mode: .overwrite,
autorename: false,
clientModified: nil,
mute: true,
input: pdf
)
}
The error message:
API route error - {
".tag" = path;
reason = {
".tag" = "malformed_path";
};
"upload_session_id" = "pid_upload_session:...";
}
It seems as if the string value I receive in url.lastpathcomponent is not a format that can be read by SwiftyDropbox. But the strings seem identical. What do I need to change?
You can find information on the required path format here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#path-formats
I see you included a general description of how this is set up in the comments in your code, but if you need help debugging this, please share some actual code for reproducing this issue so we can investigate. Also, please print out and share the actual value of "filename" when this occurs for you.
Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction!
