Incorrect error message reporting using CFFile action rename |
||||||||
During a batch process that I was writing recently I was using a CFfile operation to rename some files.
When running it I came across this error message:
1Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.
2The value of the attribute source, which is currently "C:\fullUrl.jpg", is invalid.
2The value of the attribute source, which is currently "C:\fullUrl.jpg", is invalid.
This is the calling cfml code. The actual variable values aren't important.
1<cffile action="rename" source="#variables.tmpFileLocation#" destination="#variables.dir#/#variables.photoid#.jpg">
So I checked and doubled check the source url, and manually browsed to the directory and viewed it. The file was right there! I had a wander around online and found that this isn't a new issue, but more a bad error report.
The error isn't actually relating to the 'source' attribute at all, but rather the 'destination' attribute. In this case it was a file/folder permissions problem. (I didn't have write access). It was simply a case of Coldfusion server reporting it incorrectly.

Yeah, this one will drive you nuts til you figure it out. I could swear I filed a bug on this, but just in case I didn't maybe you could file one.

Good plan Todd, I'll file one now, quite surprised its still around, as some online docs show it to have been present in cfmx 6.
