Upload file - dataFromParameters function

[marko85to]

Hi,
I'm getting an error when i'm trying to upload a file using file path.

This is the code i'm running:

let fileUrl = NSURL.fileURLWithPath("/Users/Marco/Documents/test.m4a")
var request = HTTPTask()

request.POST("http://www.example.com", parameters: ["p1": "v1", "p2": "v2", "file": HTTPUpload(fileUrl: fileUrl!)], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
            if response.responseObject != nil {
                let data = response.responseObject as NSData
                let str = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
                println("response: \(str)")
            }
            },failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
                println(error)
 })

Then, from the 'HTTPRequestSerializer' class, from the 'dataFromParameters' function, I get an error in the following line:
mutData.appendData(upload.data!)
which prints: fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

I suppose this is happening because the function is expecting a data blob file, which has a different constructor in HTTPUpload class.

convenience init(data: NSData, fileName: String, mimeType: String) {
        self.init()
        self.data = data
        self.fileName = fileName
        self.mimeType = mimeType
    }

Thanks for reporting this, it was broken 😄 . I just merged the xCode 6.1 branch that had the fix in it. Let me know if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for the fix!

I get a new error from the following function:

func newRequest(url: NSURL, method: HTTPMethod) -> NSMutableURLRequest {
        var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url, cachePolicy: cachePolicy, timeoutInterval: timeoutInterval)
        request.HTTPMethod = method.rawValue

HTTPMethod does not have a member named 'rawValue'

Same error is found in createRequest function.

This is probably because you are still using xCode 6. xCode 6.1 was released a few days ago, and they changed the rawValue() method into a property of rawValue. Upgrading to xCode 6.1 should resolve the issue.

I thought it might be a problem with the version but I have already updated. It might be a problem with my machine then. Thank you very much for your support!
