conflicts = "overwrite" not working

[timriffe]

Hi,
I'm unable to overwrite files in my OSF repo https://osf.io/mpwjq/, can I get a tip on what to change in the code?

target_dir <- osf_retrieve_node("mpwjq") %>% 
    osf_ls_files(pattern = "Data") 
  
write.csv(subset(iris, Species != "setosa"), file = "test.csv")
  
# Works:
  target_dir %>%
    osf_upload("test.csv", conflicts = "overwrite")
# # A tibble: 1 x 3
# name     id                       meta            
#  <chr>    <chr>                    <list>          
# 1 test.csv 5ef5b073761b2c00715ca35b <named list [3]>
  
# Doesn't work:
target_dir %>%
    osf_upload("test.csv", conflicts = "overwrite")

# Error: Cannot complete action: file or folder "test.csv" already exists in this location
#       HTTP status code 409.

What other details would be helpful to provide to troubleshoot this?
Many thanks,
Tim

I think this is similar to #121

Thanks @timriffe. @cimentadaj is right, this is a long-standing bug. I should have a fix for you to test by next week.

BTW, a workaround is to upload the files to the root of the project (ie, not within a directory) or create a Component called Data and upload to that instead.

Thanks @cimentadaj and @aaronwolen , since there's already code (beyond my reach) that depends on the data sitting in that folder, I think I'll wait for the fix. Thanks for looking into this both!

Should be fixed now. Feel free to re-open if you're still having issues.

Thank you, yes it seems to work. Just an observation, if I give a vector of files to upload I get this warning from osf_upload()

Warning message:
`...` is not empty.

We detected these problematic arguments:
* `needs_dots`

These dots only exist to allow future extensions and should be empty.
Did you misspecify an argument? 

When I loop over the files then I do not get that warning.

Anyway, this issue is solved, thanks it's a big help!

Sounds like a bug. Thanks for reporting!
