FileService updateCommunityFile not working

[teunhoogendoorn]

Hi,

I'm having troubles updating a community file with the FileService.updateCommunityFile (com.ibm.sbt.core / 1.1.0.20140717-1200).

I'm getting file not found errors.

I can update non community files with FileService.updateFile.

Is there a reason why both methods are so different?

public File updateFile(InputStream inputStream, File file, Map<String, String> params)
public File updateCommunityFile(InputStream iStream, String fileId, String title, String communityLibraryId, Map<String, String> params)

Updating a community file can only be done (as far as I know) with a fileId (why not a File like updateFile?) and a communityLibraryId). Also, why do I need to provide a title?

Shouldn't both methods be more or less the same (only difference should be communityId in my opinion)?

Thanks,

Teun Hoogendoorn

I have the same problem. updateFile is working fine, but updateCommunityFile gives file not found errors.

Also, when providing a params map which contains a single tag (multiple tags are not yet supported), the tag is not updated.

I just had the same problem with the FileService.updateCommunityFileMetadata method, and fixed it with a very simple change to my code. I assume it will be the same for updateCommunityFile.

It appears that the communityLibraryId required by these methods is not the community UUID. Community files actually have a library id which is different to the community UUID.

In my case, I wanted to update the metadata of a community file after the intial upload, just to add tags. I have a File object returned from the upload, and passing file.getLibraryId() as the communityLibraryId argument made this work.

Thanks sjleis for your response!

Using the communityLibraryId also "fixes" my problem.
