I have validated that I am able to write a file to the file share but I am encountering an issue with using a general expression while naming the file.
I am trying to timestamp the file with the following expression; + Date.now()+“.xml”. The pipe completes but there is no file in the location. When i change the syntax to:
+“Date.now()”+“.xml” the pipe completes with a file in the directory named:
Date.now().xml.
Any idea why it is having a problem with creating a file with the expression Date.now()?
The output preview even processes the expression correctly but still no file.
Good day,
I’m having a similar issue, I’m trying to write pdf files using a File Writer snap to a shared location, should I be using the file or the smb protocols? I tried both but unable to get it to work.
However the file gives a message saying it’s overwritten but the files are not in the folder, see below:
Thanks much.
