Why Am I Getting an S3 Get File "Invalid Path" Error?

Wappler General How To
#1

I’m trying to download a file from my S3 bucket using Wappler 3.9.7, and I’m getting the following error in the Network tab of the browser :

"Invalid Path! https://files.workshop-angel.com/30_b5d9b914fe1244c0_fp_hands.jpg"

However, you can see if you put this url into a browser, this path is correct.

I have the following setup for my Get File action:

s3get2

Where:

filename = 30_b5d9b914fe1244c0_fp_hands.jpg
$_POST.file_url = https://files.workshop-angel.com/30_b5d9b914fe1244c0_fp_hands.jpg

What am I doing wrong? :thinking:

Well you have the file name also already in the path…

#3

So are saying it should be this?

filename = 30_b5d9b914fe1244c0_fp_hands.jpg
$_POST.file_url = https://files.workshop-angel.com/

Yes, that is why we have two separate fields, file name and path…

#5

I’m pretty sure the path value should be a local folder where the file will be saved

Right, and the key is whatever key was used to put the file at s3 (which might include a path as well as file name)

If you are storing in a subfolder on S3 you currently need to create the local folders to match for the path

Apart from the binding issues, the path needs to be very specific as well.

Although in your case I see the file is directly in the bucket, so you don’t have to worry about the above for this file at least.

Thanks for all your help, folks!

That all makes sense now with the path… luckily I don’t have any folders on the S3 side, so a / for the path seems to suffice…

I have it set as below and I have managed to overcome this hurdle.

(Another hurdle has presented itself, which I’ll open a new post for… :confounded:)
