Upgrade to Dataverse 6.7.1: Error 500 when using deleteFiles API on draft dataset
Alfredo Cosco
Hello everyone,
After upgrading a Dataverse instance from version 6.3 to 6.7.1, I found this API: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.7.1/api/native-api.html#delete-files-from-a-dataset
I'm trying to use it to delete files from a draft dataset:
However, I'm getting an HTML page with Error 500, where I can read:<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert" style="margin-top:3em;"><strong>Internal Server Error</strong> - An unexpected error was encountered, no more information is available.</div>
The error stacktrace on the server is:

I don’t have any quick answer – the exception is coming from the ApiRouter class which is simply trying to map calls to the api like /api/datasets/* to /api/v1/datasets. It should work the same for all API calls. Other than verifying you’re running the recommended Payara release, I’m not sure what to suggest.
If you can reproduce it on demo.dataverse.org, let us know.

Hello Jim,
I tried on the demo.dataverse.org instance.
With this dataset: https://demo.dataverse.org/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.70122/FK2/EPMCJH&version=DRAFT
I run:
curl -H "X-Dataverse-key:MYKEY" -X PUT "https://demo.dataverse.org/api/datasets/:persistentId/deleteFiles?persistentId=doi:10.70122/FK2/EPMCJH" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"fileIds": [2543483, 2543483]}' -vvv
the response is an html error page:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><head id="j_idt2">
<title>500 Internal Server Error - Demo Dataverse</title>
James Myers
I don’t quite understand the error log, but the problem is that the Guides are incorrect. The parameter being sent should just be a json array of file ids (see the code and test in #11230). So -d [2543483, 2543484] in the example below (note that your entry repeated the same ID twice. Also note that I tested on your doi:10.70122/FK2/EPMCJH and removed the files with those IDs. The files now have ids 2668163 and 2668164 if you want to try on demo again.)
Please add an issue so that minimally we get the guides issue cleaned up. My guess w.r.t. the 500 error – the JAX-RS is throwing an IllegalArgumentException that isn’t being caught to return a 400/BadUserRequest error and instead it just gets propagated to become a less clear 500 error. We probably need a Jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ExceptionMapper for this case.

Great Jim! The two identical IDs in my example were a typo, but I've now tested the string you suggested and it worked.
Thanks,

I don't understand what's happening. On demo.dataverse.org it worked correctly, while I tried on my test installation:
curl -H "X-Dataverse-key:MYKEY" -X PUT "http://localhost:8080/api/datasets/:persistentId/deleteFiles?persistentId=doi:10.13130/RD_UNIMI/R1GVKFF" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d [175817,175818,175819] -vvv
And I get this message: {"status":"ERROR","message":"When accessing a dataset based on Persistent ID, a persistentId query parameter must be present."}
The persistentId is in the querystring, it's a draft, the only difference is that this test installation doesn't have a working connection with Datacite because it's a test, we don't need to actually publish for now.
Thanks,
Alfredo
