[Bug] Nextcloud node - Move/Delete function throws an error

Questions
#1

Hi,

I was trying to move a file from one Nextcloud location to another (different folder), but whenever I try to do that, I get the below error:

ERROR: NextCloud Error. Status Code: 404. Message: 404 - “<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<d:error xmlns:d=“DAV:” xmlns:s=“http://sabredav.org/ns”>\n <s:exception>Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotFound</s:exception>\n <s:message>File with name /Invoices/Sample.xlsx could not be located</s:message>\n</d:error>\n”

Here’s a sample workflow:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "parameters": {},
      "name": "Start",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.start",

      "position": [

        300
      ]
    },
    {

      "typeVersion": 1,

      },

      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [

    },
    {

      },
      "name": "Nextcloud1",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.nextCloud",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [

      ],
      "credentials": {
        "nextCloudApi": "SD Cloud"
      }
    }
  ],
  "connections": {
    "Start": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "Nextcloud",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    "Nextcloud": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "Spreadsheet File",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    "Spreadsheet File": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "Function",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    "Function": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "Nextcloud1",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note that the same error occurs when I try to delete a file as well.

Thanks,
Santhosh

Welcome to the community @santhosh!

My assumption would be that the error message is correct and the file “/Invoices/Sample.xlsx” does not exist.

#3

It’s working just fine for me.

Can you do /Invoices/Sample.xlsx instead of Invoices/Sample.xlsx? Perhaps that solves the issue.

#4

My bad! Thanks Ricardo! That did the trick! Silly mistake, sorry for wasting your time.

#5

Not wasting my time at all. Perhaps we improve the field description as it does not mention that. Actually you are making us to make the product better. Thanks.

Hi @jan, @RicardoE105, it looks like I prematurely closed the issue. There’s definitely some issue with the Nextcloud node. I consistently get the above error now. Please note that I get the below error after the file gets moved to the target folder!

ERROR: NextCloud Error. Status Code: 404. Message: 404 - "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<d:error xmlns:d=\"DAV:\" xmlns:s=\"http://sabredav.org/ns\">\n <s:exception>Sabre\\DAV\\Exception\\NotFound</s:exception>\n <s:message>File with name /SDConversations/Users.xlsx could not be located</s:message>\n</d:error>\n"

Can you please share the workflow? Just copy all the nodes and then paste them here, so that we can have a proper look.
