Check-in failed: file at xxx does not exist. Parameter name: filePath

Hi, 

  I move the AddOrUpdateFile from Doug's Thunderdome example. Now I like to checkin a pdf from a folder which is not working folder.

  here is the error message:

Check-in failed: file at xxxx does not exist.
Parameter name: filePath

Here is the code:

        public ACW.File AddOrUpdateFile(string localPath, 
            string fileName, ACW.Folder vaultFolder, string comment = "")
        {

            Console.WriteLine("AddOrUpdateFile---" + System.IO.File.Exists(Path.Combine(localPath, fileName)).ToString()); // this return true
 
            string vaultPath = vaultFolder.FullName + "/" + fileName;

            ACW.File[] result = _docSvc.FindLatestFilesByPaths(
                vaultPath.ToSingleArray());

            ACW.File retVal = null;
            if (result == null || result.Length == 0 || result[0].Id < 0)
            {
                VDFE.Folder vdfFolder = new VDFE.Folder(
                    m_cache.Conn, vaultFolder);

                // using a stream so that we can set a different file name
                using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(localPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
                {
                    VDFE.FileIteration newFile = m_cache.Conn.FileManager.AddFile(
                        vdfFolder, fileName, comment,
                        System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(localPath), null, null,
                        FileClassification.None, false, stream); // <-<- here is the error popup 

                    retVal = newFile;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                VDFE.FileIteration vdfFile = new VDFE.FileIteration(m_cache.Conn, result[0]);

                AcquireFilesSettings settings = new AcquireFilesSettings(m_cache.Conn);
                settings.AddEntityToAcquire(vdfFile);
                settings.DefaultAcquisitionOption = AcquireFilesSettings.AcquisitionOption.Checkout;
                AcquireFilesResults results = m_cache.Conn.FileManager.AcquireFiles(settings);

                if (results.FileResults.First().Exception != null)
                    throw results.FileResults.First().Exception;

                vdfFile = results.FileResults.First().File;
                VDF.Currency.FilePathAbsolute fpa = localPath.ToVDFPath();
                vdfFile = m_cache.Conn.FileManager.CheckinFile(vdfFile, comment, false,
                    null, null, false, null, FileClassification.None, false, fpa);

                retVal = vdfFile;
            }

            return retVal;
        }

  I checked and checked again, file is in localpath. What could be the mistake? 

Thank you very much

Wes

Hello Wes,
 
The subject of this case says "Check-in failed, but in the code there is a comment that error is occurring on AddFile. I am not recreating an error using AddFile().

using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(localPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
                {
                    VDFE.FileIteration newFile = m_conn.FileManager.AddFile(
                        vdfFolder, fileName, comment,
                        System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(localPath), null, null,
                        ACW.FileClassification.None, false, stream); // <-<- here is the error popup 

                    retVal = newFile;
                }
<< <<  

Could it be the error is happening on this line?

>> >>
vdfFile = m_conn.FileManager.CheckinFile(vdfFile, comment, false,
null, null, false, null, ACW.FileClassification.None, false, fpa);
<< <<

I am able to recreate an error like this if fpa is a path where the file that is being checked in does not exist.

Thanks,

Wayne
