Uploading an Excel file from the local hard drive

[Dan Wellisch]

Hello:

I was trying to find an ElasticSearch example of uploading a file into DOTCMS.

Let's say I have file called artifact4.xlsx on my hard drive found here.: C:\work\apiwork\artifact4.xlsx.

If ElasticSearch can't do it....what is the simplest HTTP Post command that would do it....

Please show an example that is known to work.  

Thanks,

Dan

[Dan Wellisch]

Does anyone know how to do this?  I tried the new workflow way and the older deprecated way.  All I get is either a 409 Conflict or 500 error.  I am using the Postman HTTP Client.  Perhaps, I simply need to use the curl command.  

I simply want to upload an Excel spreadsheet to DOTCMS using an HTTP Put or Post.  I was able to push some text content up using Postman but not an Excel spreadsheet.

Thanks in advance!

Dan

Dan, how about using WebDav? https://dotcms.com/docs/latest/webdav

I don't think that is practical.  That looks like a developer tool..mapping folders and placing files.  I need an HTTP request so that a backend can be instructed as directed by a custom UI..

I do this with curl.  It's something like ...

curl -s -u MYUSER:MYPASS https://MYSERVER.com/api/content/publish/1 -XPUT \
  -F 'json={stName:"fileAsset",hostFolder:"'"site-in-dotcms.com:/folder/path/"'",title="'"thefile.txt"'",languageId:1};type=application/json' \
  -F file=@"/local/file/path/thefile.txt"

Escaping is a pain ..  I suggest using some scripting language like bash/node/python if it's something you do regularly.  Note this is using the older API, I haven't updated my scripts for the latest version to use the newer workflow api so I am not sure this works in the latest version, but using the workflow api would be the same, just different url and json data you are passing to it.

Hope that helps.

A Q U E N T  /  VITAMIN T

[Mark Pitely]

If you use a structure with a binary file field, you can build/serve 'files' as content. To be honest, I think that's how dotCMS handles them internally now.

This would mean the file exists as a blob in the db rather than as a file in a filesystem. In many ways, this is far superior to having 'files'. (You can programmatically flip through them, and have whatever metadata you like)

Here's an example of some js that uploads content with a file attached - this is using it from an html form to handle the uploading but you could do it anyway you like:

function saveeblock(){

var date = new Date();    
   
var title=document.getElementById('title').value;
var caption=document.getElementById('caption').value;
var imagedescription=document.getElementById('imagedescription').value;
var url=document.getElementById('url').value;
var turl=document.getElementById('turl').value;
var body=document.getElementById('body').value;
var tag=document.getElementById('tag').value;
var video=document.getElementById('video').value;
var department=document.getElementById('department').value;
var buttontext=document.getElementById('buttontext').value;  
var buttonurl=document.getElementById('buttonurl').value;  
var today=date.getMonth()+1;    
var postdate=today+'/'+date.getDate()+'/'+date.getFullYear();

var formData = new FormData()
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
 
  if (request.readyState == 4){
        if (request.status === 200) {  
            var a = request.getAllResponseHeaders();
            console.log(a);
           
            where=a.indexOf('identifier: ');
      id=a.slice(where+12,where+48);
    console.log("Identifier:",id,"!");
           
       insertblock(id,row,identifier1,identifier2);    
           
           
        } else {  
           console.log("Error", request.statusText);  
        }  
 
}
   
 

};

request.open("POST", "/api/content/publish/1", true);  
 var dataObj={
          'stName':'Eiffelblock',
          'title': title,
          'caption': caption,
          'imagedescription': imagedescription,
          'url' : turl,
          'body' : body,
          'tag' : tag,
          'video' : video,
          'buttontext' : buttontext,
          'buttonurl' : buttonurl,
          'department' : department,
          'postdate' : postdate,        
          'contentHost':'SYSTEM_HOST'};    
console.log(dataObj);    
   
formData.append('json',JSON.stringify(dataObj));  
var theimager=document.getElementById('tpic');

var file=theimager.files[0];
formData.append("image", file);
  
 request.send(formData);
}

Heh, I was just going through my scripts folder and found something where I was using Node JS and FormData -- might be helpful, but Mark beat me to it:

[jonathan...@dotcms.com]

hi Dan, this is the postman code generated:

curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/workflow/actions/default/fire/PUBLISH' \

--form 'json="{\"contentlet\":

{

\"contentType\":\"FileAsset\",

\"fileName\":\"GraphQLTests.json\",

\"title\":\"GraphQLTests.json\",

\"hostFolder\":\"default\"

}

}";type=application/json' \

--form 'file=@"/Users/jsanca/gitsources/new-core/core/dotCMS/src/curl-test/GraphQLTests.json"'

I am using a form data on postman looks like:

[Dan Wellisch]

Hi Jonathan:

I am struggling with this....I tried to model a sample from what you gave me below....

I don't see my file artifact6.xlsx being published to DotCMS.  What am I missing?  Do I need to create a Scheme, Step, and Action for this that is 

not the default?  I got confused by the documentation on how to do this....

Here is mine.:

curl  --location --request  PUT 'https://<hostname>/api/v1/workflow/actions/default/fire/PUBLISH' \

     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \                                                                                                            --form 'json="{\"contentlet\":

        {

                \"contentType\":\"FileAsset\",

                \"fileName\":\"artifact6.xlsx\",

                \"title\":\"artifact6.xlsx\",

                \"hostFolder\":\"<hostname>\"

        }

}";type=application/json' \

        --form 'file=@"/home/dwellisch/ApiCallsBash/workflows/artifact6.xlsx"'

[Dan Wellisch]

I also tried replacing PUBLISH with NEW and still I don't see any content uploaded and there is no error message from the curl command.

[jonathan...@dotcms.com]

hi Dan,

Not sure why is not working, I would check which workflow is assigned to FileAsset to double check if the System Workflow is assigned to that content type.

Best,

J

[Dan Wellisch]

Jonathan:

I honestly don't know why this is so hard to get going...Is this some paid support that we might need?  How can you help us fix this quickly?

Here is an exact copy of your documentation.

Uploading a Single Binary File

The following curl command submits a single binary image to a File Asset type of content using the REST API. Note the JSON portion of the API call to set the regular field values, and the file included using @ (which will submit the specified file to the first Binary field in the Content Type).

curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/workflow/actions/default/fire/NEW?language=1589383514071' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==' \ --form 'file=@testpdf.pdf' \ --form 'json={ "contentlet": { "contentType":"PDFDotAsset", "title":"Test1", "contentHost":"demo.dotcms.com" } } '

And here is my script....I made sure that the TestFile content type (which I created as a File Asset) had the System Workflow assigned.  What else do I need to do?  What dotCMS logs can I look at to see what the problem is?  Is there a test site that you have that I can use to try this out on?  Perhaps something is wrong with our installation? 

********my bash script********

curl --location --request PUT '<https://host path>/api/v1/workflow/actions/fire/NEW' \

     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \

        --form 'json={"contentlet":

        {

                "contentType":"TestFile",

                "title":"artifact6.xlsx",

                "contentHost":"<host path>"

        }' \

        --form 'file=@/home/dwellisch/ApiCallsBash/workflows/artifact6.xlsx'

Couple things, I think you are a curly bracket, so the json may be not well-formatted.

I would go to maintenance to check if there is any log

Best,

j 

[Dan Wellisch]

Jonathan:  It seems I needed to a folder name to the URL I had....Once I do that, I get the following....I checked all the permissions....don't see an issue with my authorization token.

Are you sure the correct Authorization format should be.:

     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \

?

#logo {

  float: left;

}

#text {

  float: left;

}

</style>

    </div>

  </div>

</body>

</html>0

[Dan Wellisch]

Jonathan:

Well, I fixed the curly brace.  That did not help, although I thought it would.  Also, there are no maintenance logs.

Can you do something for me?  

Pretend I am a complete novice...which I am.  Step-by-step, would you have me do from the very beginning to the end?

Tell me exactly what action/step I need to use on the System Workflow...please take screenshots of yours and show me.  I know this might be asking a lot, but I think you could use this as a piece of your documentation on your site to help others...

My only other option is paying for support and I would do that out of my own pocket, if I needed to....I just need to get some understanding of how this works and to actually see it work...

I have had too much time being frustrated with it not working, but by not seeing any logging of what is not working.  My curl command is always returning a success code. :(

Hi everyone, 

apologize to digging out this thread but actually and after few week of work I kind of have exactly the same issue.

Since this thread has two year, does this problem has been solve or is it still the same.

Actually every put using workflow api still generate an error 400, 403, 405 but no matter it has no way to make it work.

Kind regards.

Joan (and Dan),

If you dig through the response data, there is often a text message that will help clear the issue. It will explain why you are getting the 405, etc. I was getting a 'Expect JSON Array' error message, so I tweaked my json to enable an array with a couple extra brackets - it is not necessarily expecting 'true' json (a further reminder that json is a pretty flaky standard). Also, in the example bash, looks like you are missing a trailing brace. In general, you can almost always remove the 'host' fields unless you have a multihost setup. 

Lastly, Dan was using 5.19, so I am not sure any of this would work. 

So this:

        --form 'json={"contentlet":

        {

                "contentType":"TestFile",

                "title":"artifact6.xlsx",

                "contentHost":"<host path>"

        }' \   <----you closed the contentlet but not the json. 

becomes:

    --form 'json={"contentlet":

        [{

                "contentType":"TestFile",

                "title":"artifact6.xlsx",

                "contentHost":"<host path>"

        }]}' \

Here's an example in javascript that works for me:

var dataObj={"contentlet":[{"identifier":id,"paid":"pending","contentType":"TexplStudent"}]};
