Error while processing {P_result.entry.folder_id}

[matthewda...@gmail.com]

I have set up very simple process to get the ID of a Google folder using:

Google API Login provider with Login Documents connector.
Google Documents provider with Get the id of a folder [v3.0]

I have created a GUI with a text field to enter the name of a folder with the variable name: folder_name. This is the input variable (along with the AUTH) for the get the id of a folder activity.

Please can you advise why the workflow is not returning a folder id to me?
(Please can you keep the explanation simple I'm not a programmer.)

Dear Support

I can mot find a connector called "login Document list" as advised in the connector description, so I assume it is the "login Document" connector instead?

Returns the id of the folder you requested.

Note: to be able to use this web service, you need to log in using the "login Document list" web service of the "Google API login" provider first.

Parameters:

s

folder_name: the name of the folder  (entered via gui)

To retrieve the id of a given folder, create an output variable with the following value.

Note 1: if the folder is not found or if 2 folders have the same name, the id will contain an error message.

${P_result.entry.folder_id}

Hi Matthew,

Its seems return JSON object structure is changed by google webservices. you will not get the folderId in ${P_result.entry.folder_id}.

Please try the ${P_result.feed.entry.id}, it contains the result something like this

https://docs.google.com/feeds/id/folder%3A0B-QhTaGv81ffTFJ1cUFJY1Z3aEE

Here "3A0B-QhTaGv81ffTFJ1cUFJY1Z3aEE" is the id of the folder.

Thanks,

Pankaj

Thank you that seems to have worked.  Now I need to get it so I just have the ID of the folder only.

(November 2014) I'm trying to get the ID of a folder (Google "Get the ID of a Folder" connector where the description in the connector is wrong.  The connector states the output is ${P_result.entry.folder_id} which fails.  

Instead I am using ${P_result.feed.entry.resourceId} which works but returns the ID with a prefix folder:oboma125987... This is not usable in "Move a word document / spreadsheet /presentation into a folder [v3.0]"

Please advise how to get the URL returned to the process with out the folder: prefix.  the current result is not usable by downstream processes.

Please can you help I have been trying for a long time now without success.

Hi,

Quick fix will be to try to process the value to remove the folder.

You can use freemarker script to do that.

I think builtins like "split" will be good.

http://freemarker.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_split

If your string looks like

folder:sfasdfasdfasd

and wanted to get rid of "folder:", then you can do

<#assign my_folder = "folder:sfasdfasdfasd">

${my_folder?split(":")[1]}

split will make array, and index 0 is first item that you don't want, so just get 2nd part. This works if folder_id NEVER contain a 2nd ":".

Another thing you can look for is, look at the full return message from that Connector call, and try to find a value that is exactly what you want.

This might be more sustainable approach.

Best regards,

Taka
