I’m trying to create a file with code such as the following, but when it gets to the file.create it throws an exception ‘Unexpected error’. Anyone seen this before?

Code:
/**
*@NApiVersion 2.x
*@NScriptType Restlet
*/
define([‘N/file’], function (file) {

function post(){
var fileRequest = { name: ‘test’ + ‘.txt’, fileType: file.Type.PLAINTEXT, contents: ‘test’, description: ‘f’, folder: 165 };
try {
var resultingFile = file.create(fileRequest);
}
catch (ex) { debugger; }
var fileId = resultingFile.save();
}
});
This is a cached copy. Click here to see the original post.

I’ve created files before as a csv, It could be that you need to set the folder after creating the object

Code:
var fileObj = file.create({
name: fname,
fileType: file.Type.CSV,
contents: resultSet.join(‘n’)
});

fileObj.folder = 4724267;
fileObj.save()

Why are you saving inside the catch? It’ll never be reached (unless the file/create throw an exception.

Try it like this

Code:
/** *@NApiVersion 2.x *@NScriptType Restlet */
define([‘N/file’], function (file) {
var fileRequest = { name: ‘test’ + ‘.txt’, fileType: file.Type.PLAINTEXT, contents: ‘test’, description: ‘f’, folder: 165 };
try {
var resultingFile = file.create(fileRequest);
var fileId = resultingFile.save();
} catch (ex) {
debugger;
} //TODO: Only put code in here to handle the exception/error.
});

Jonathan,

The bigger issue is, your code has no valid entry point

jonathan@velaro.com replied on 09/28/2016, 08:06 AM: Ah, guess my example wasn’t 100% correct, i have it wrapped in an entry point function name ‘post’. I’ll update my sample.

You need to define the entrypoints – which means you need to return something from your function(file)…
