FileMetadata - path display method
Hi,
My question is related to -> https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/Any-way-to-get-mixed-case-path-for-a-file/m-p/158703
I have the following piece of code (using the java sdk v2):
result.getEntries().stream().forEach(m -> {
if (m instanceof DeletedMetadata) {
LOGGER.info("[DBX WEBHOOKS] Deleted: " + m.getPathDisplay());
flush(m.getPathDisplay());
} My dbx path is : /Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/File Name.xlsx
But when executing the above code, the .getPathDisplay() method returns :
/Folder1/folder2/folder3/Folder4/File Name.xlsx
For some reason, i get a lower case first letter for folder2 and folder3.
My app runs under linux, and because the path is not matching exactly, the next executed operation fails (removing the file).
Do you know what could be the reason for this ?
thanks,
-victor
Unfortunately due to some specifics of how Dropbox is implemented, not all of the path components can be guaranteed to have the expected casing.
You can find more information on this in the "Path formats" section under:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/h
ttp/documentation#formats There's also some information in the documentation for "path_display" if you expand "FileMetadata, e.g., under:
