SSHLibrary put_file keyword causes IOError on Ubuntu

[Samuli Silvius]

Hi,

I have Ubuntu 12.04.4, python 2.7.3 and I have installed just robotframework-sshlibrary to it with commands:

  sudo apt-get install python-pip

  sudo pip install robotframework-sshlibrary

So now getting SSHLibrary version 2.0.2.

So I have _not_ installed Robot Framework itself to that machine.

When trying to move one file from this host to another host (also Ubuntu 12.04) I get following error:

    self.ssh.put_file(file_or_dir, self.REMOTE_TMP_DIR, mode)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SSHLibrary/library.py", line 1366, in put_file

    path_separator)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SSHLibrary/library.py", line 1416, in _run_sftp_command

    files = command(*args)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SSHLibrary/abstractclient.py", line 463, in put_file

    path_separator)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SSHLibrary/abstractclient.py", line 946, in put_file

    self._put_file(source, destination, mode, newline)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SSHLibrary/abstractclient.py", line 998, in _put_file

    remote_file = self._create_remote_file(destination, mode)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SSHLibrary/pythonclient.py", line 140, in _create_remote_file

    remote_file = self._client.file(destination, 'wb')

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 245, in open

    t, msg = self._request(CMD_OPEN, filename, imode, attrblock)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 649, in _request

    return self._read_response(num)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 696, in _read_response

    self._convert_status(msg)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 726, in _convert_status

    raise IOError(text)

IOError: Failure

Target directory in target host exists and it's this:

root@cirrus:~/samuli# ll /tmp/kvmTool

total 8

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun  6 12:09 ./

drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4096 Jun  6 13:17 ../

root@cirrus:~/samuli# 

with mode I use '0777'.  And trying to move one file that exists locally.

And login to the host has been made as root user.

Any ideas?

To the list this time. Also fixed the below, said "doesn't work" and meant "does work showing the problem is in the python implementation of the same action"

There are plenty of disk space so that is not the problem. And another thing I forgot to mention is that SSHLibrary's keyword put_directory works fine to transfer dir with punch of files to same remote target directory location.

How do I debug the low level SFTP implementation? Any simple example?

Hi,

I enabled ssh logging on SSHLibrary and figured out the problem. I was giving the destination directory without trailing slash "/tmp/kvmTool" and if I give it like "/tmp/kvmTool/" it works! This sounds like a bug to me if looking keyword documentation of put_file: https://robotframework-sshlibrary.googlecode.com/git-history/2.0/doc/SSHLibrary.html#Put File

 --> "2. If destination is an existing directory, source file is uploaded into it. "

But not mentioned that dir must be given with trailing slash.

Damn!

Could you make an issue about this to the issue tracker?

I hope to have some time to go through all the issues in SSHLibrary and to make a new release “soon”. (We are very busy in the core team right now..)
