400 Bad Request error: "Could not get parent" Creating Node
Content Server 10.5 Update 2014-12 (version 10.5.0.10)
Hi,
Issue occurred in my apps REST request, however to troubleshoot and simplify I've used Chromes extension Advanced REST Client. When I try and add a node to OTCS (have tried both documents and folders), I receive the following response:
error: "Could not get parent"
Host & Path: http://enterprise/otcs/llisapi.dll/api/v1/nodes
RAW request: name=new_doc&type=144&parent_id=2000 ... have also tried name=newfolder&type=0&parent_id=2000
Header: OTCSTICKET
Method: POST
I've tried other containers apart from 2000 in OTCS and am logging in with an admin account so permissions are not the issue. I've also successfully added a version to a document, the only request that appears to be problematic is the POST /NODES
Thanks in advance,
========

are you uploading a file as well or just trying to create a folder?

Hi Jason,
I am just trying to upload a file to an existing folder or the Enterprise workspace. I added a file to the request via the chrome extension and named the form field "file". Apart from that I get the same error when simply trying to create a folder using POST /NODES (RAW name=newfolder&type=0&parent_id=2000)

I have experienced similar problems with uploading files. The solution has always involved minor tweaks to content-type headers or parametrizing the form. Can you share the javascript code?

Hi,
I am having the similar problem, any of you have a solution?
Thank you

You put content type
multipart/form-data
to the header, but the request bodyname=newfolder&type=0&parent_id=2000
is not of this content type. Either fix the content type to correspond with your body -application/x-www-form-urlencoded
, or format the request body as multipart MIME. The former is simpler and can be used for types without content (document has content but folder has not, for example). The latter is supported by FormData in JavaScript.Your parameters to create a new folder are correct. If you want to create a document, you will need to add the
file
field and thus use themultipart/form-data
content type, to be able to add raw file content.0 -
If you use jQuery >= 1.6, this is how you create a folder:
$ .ajax({ url: '.../api/v1/nodes', method: 'POST', headers: {OTCSTicket: '...'}, data: { type: 0, parent_id: 9255, name: 'My Test' } }) .done(function (response) { console.log('New folder:', response.id); }) .fail(function (request) { console.log('Creating folder failed:', request.responseJSON.error); });
There is a post in this forum about uploading a document too.
