Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

I'd expect the publishing page to be copied. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, is it possible to copy files between site collections in the same tenant?

Observed Behavior

When copying to target web, it throws File Not Found error.

Steps to Reproduce

Simply run the following code in the browser's dev console:

var targetWeb = new $pnp.Web("https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/target-web"), fileName = window.location.pathname.substr(window.location.pathname.lastIndexOf("/") + 1; // in my case I am trying to copy a publishing page $pnp.sp.web.getFileByServerRelativeUrl(window.location.pathname).getBlob().then(function (sourceFile){ targetWeb.getFolderByServerRelativeUrl("/sites/target-web/sub-site/Pages/").files.add(fileName, sourceFile, false).then(function (r) { console.log(r); }); });

Thanks!

You could try copyTo or moveTo and see if that works for you. Would be simpler code as well. HTH

You might also want to take care as publishing pages have a lot of behind the scenes dependencies so might not work across site collections. If you are working on a provisioning solution something like the PowerShell or managed CSOM solutions might be more appropriate.
