Bim 360 FIELD Publish - InternalServerError when user isn't Document Manager

clwi · ‎02-01-2018

Hi,

We've noticed today that we get InternalServerError when we're trying to Publish a file and lacks the proper accesslevel in the project.(Not set as Document Manager).

public static HttpStatusCode Publish(string ticket, string project_id, string directory, string filename, byte[] bytes, string document_id, string tags, string caption)
{
// (1) Build request
var client = new RestClient();
client.BaseUrl = new System.Uri(Settings.baseUrl);

// Set resource or end point
var request = new RestRequest();
request.Resource = "/api/library/publish";
request.Method = Method.POST;

// Add parameters
request.AddParameter("ticket", ticket);
request.AddParameter("project_id", project_id);

request.AddParameter("directory", directory);
request.AddParameter("filename", filename);

// Optional parameters
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(document_id))
request.AddParameter("document_id", document_id);
request.AddParameter("tags", tags);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(caption))
request.AddParameter("caption", caption);

// Add Files
request.AddFile("Filedata", bytes, filename);

// (2) Execute request and get response
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

// Save response. This is to see the response for our learning.
Settings.m_lastResponse = response;

return response.StatusCode;

}

What would be the proper way to ensure/check the access either before upload or maybe get a proper response like "Unable to publish file. Insufficient user rights" or something so I can actually handle it?

Hi clwi,

It would be nicer to have an error message saying the nature of failure than internal error, wouldn't it?

I see two calls, fieldapi/admin/v1/users and api/v1/projects/{project_id}/users return a list of users with roles:

https://bim360field.autodesk.com/apidoc/index.html#admin_api_method_6

https://bim360field.autodesk.com/apidoc/index.html#api/v1/project_users_method_1

Maybe what you can do will be to check the individual's role there after the user login and use that info.

i tried using the get users function(second suggestion) copying my publish function and modifying it to match the information but i kept getting unauthorized when trying that, maybe i missed something, you think you can try rewrite my function to match the api, maybe i understand where i went wrong there...

but yea, also, wtb a proper error message 🙂

(sorry please ignore this one)

Hi clwi,

if you are getting unauthorized, maybe you don't have an access right for the user data. That will be a limitation.

Also, just in case, if you are having a problem just to call /users, could you make sure you are passing project_id as a URL parameter, not a form parameter? e.g., using RESTShape, it will look like this:

>>>>

request.Resource = "/api/v1/projects/{project_id}/users

request.AddUrlSegment("project_id", project_id);

Hi,

still cannot get it to work.. i'm currently getting NotFound results now...

my current meethod...

public static HttpStatusCode IsDoucmentManager(string ticket, string project_id, string user_id )
{
// (1) Build request
var client = new RestClient();
client.BaseUrl = new System.Uri("https://bim360field.eu.autodesk.com");
// Set resource or end point
var request = new RestRequest();
request.Resource = "/api/v1/projects/{project_id}/users";
request.AddUrlSegment("project_id", project_id);
request.Method = Method.GET;

// Add parameters
request.AddParameter("ticket", ticket);

//request.AddParameter("project_id", project_id);
//request.AddParameter("id", user_id);
// (2) Execute request and get response
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Settings.m_lastResponse = response;

return response.StatusCode;

}

Any advice?

Hi clwi,

The code looks correct to me.

A few places I can think of as places to check -

Does the current API user has an access to the project pointed by project_id?

You may try as a full access user and see if it works. This may help to separate if the issue is permission/projects with the current user or some where in the logic of the code, for example.
