google-api-go-client: drive/v2: resumable uploads

[Nick Craig-Wood]

I was trying to use the resumable upload feature in the drive/v2 api

http://godoc.org/github.com/google/google-api-go-client/drive/v2#FilesInsertCall.ResumableMedia

However I get this error when I call Do()

Put error Upload failed: resumable uploads must set the Name parameter.

Tracing the code through, this comes from here

https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/blob/master/drive/v2/drive-gen.go#L3822

However nowhere in the drive/v2 API is there a Name parameter, so I'm
not sure what is required!

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

The resumable uploads feature is a work-in progress and is likely to dramatically change, so I don't recommend using it yet.

It was written initially to support the storage:v1 API (and the Google Cloud Storage client library veneer) which requires the "Name" parameter on uploads.

If, however, you want to try it out locally with drive:v2, then you could comment out that check for the name parameter and see how it goes.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Ah OK.

I'll probably end up re-implementing it as it doesn't have exactly the
interface I want - I don't have an io.ReadSeeker, only an io.Reader.

I made an adaptor from io.Reader to io.ReadSeeker which allowed limited
seeking, but I think I'd be better off re-implementing the resumable
upload stuff to work with a limited buffer size, especially since it
isn't ready for prime time yet.

I'll try that just for interests sake!

Thanks

FWIW, the name parameter isn't even required for Storage uploads. You just need to provide a name, which you can do either via parameter or by providing the name in the JSON metadata body. :/
