CLI sync / upload_dir fails to upload images

endjin

May 28, 2020 07:53

I'm running Python 3.8.2 in PowerShell on Windows 10.

I have a folder structure containing 2025 images (202 mb in size) which contains images from our WordPress blog. They are in the standard YYYY/MM folder structure.

I've tried the following commands:

cld -C "myconnection" sync --push blog blog

cld -C "myconnection" upload_dir ".\blog\2013\"

Each results in every upload failing with an error of this kind:

error: Failed uploading C:\Temp\images\blog\2013\03\IMG_06481.jpg, error: public_id (2013\03/IMG_06481) is invalid.

I can manually upload the file, so I'm wondering if it's a CLI bug.

Many thanks!

  Hi endjin,

  Please refer: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/cloudinary_cli#sync on how to syn assets between a local directory and your Cloudinary account directory.

  Here is an example:

  my local directory is: /Users/moip/Desktop/ticket_120834/images/blog/2013/03

  and my Cloudinary directory is set up as: blog/2013/03

  moip@Mos-MBP-2 03 % cld sync --push "/Users/moip/Desktop/ticket_120834/images/blog/2013/03" "blog/2013/03"
  Found 2 items in local folder '/Users/moip/Desktop/ticket_120834/images/blog/2013/03'
  Found 0 items in Cloudinary folder 'blog/2013/03'
  Uploading 2 items to Cloudinary folder 'blog/2013/03'
  Successfully uploaded /Users/moip/Desktop/ticket_120834/images/blog/2013/03/rustic.jpeg as blog/2013/03/rustic
  Successfully uploaded /Users/moip/Desktop/ticket_120834/images/blog/2013/03/beauty.jpeg as blog/2013/03/beauty

  Regards,

  Mo

  Hi Mo,

  Thanks for the quick response. I believe I was using the CLI correctly. I've tried it again, and still the same problem.

  I'm wondering why I'm getting the following error:

  error: Failed uploading C:\Temp\images\blog\2013\03\IMG_06481.jpg, error: public_id (2013\03/IMG_06481) is invalid.

  What's making me suspicious is the final bit:

  public_id (2013\03/IMG_06481) is invalid.

  I would expect the public_id to be (2013\03\IMG_06481) not (2013\03/IMG_06481) (note the difference in the final slash).

  I'm also slightly suspicious that this is a "path" bug with Windows - If I look at your example

  moip@Mos-MBP-2

  I take it you are trying this on a MacBook Pro?

  Hi Endjin - thanks for bringing this to our attention!

  I've implemented a fix in the GitHub repository on the `fix/windows_path_format` branch here. Note that in order to match Cloudinary's folder syntax, `2013\03\IMG_06481` should now be uploaded as `2013/03/IMG_06481` rather than keeping the Windows folder separator `\`.

  Could you try installing the fixed version from the repository and let me know if it solves your issue?

  git clone -b fix/windows_path_format https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary-cli
  pip3 install -e cloudinary-cli

  Hi Brian,

  just trying it out.

  I've also just issued a PR to add guidance for setting up the CLI in PowerShell (the "set" command behaviour is different than using cmd.exe).
