I have purchased the PlugIn File Generator Reader Downloader. I am trying to use it, however, I’ve encountered a few bugs and some things are still unclear.
Here’s my full process:
- I put the element “FileManager” somewhere on my page.
- When uploading a file with the Bubble element “FileUploader”, I then use a button to “Read File”, which triggers the workflow action “Read file Content FileManager”. In the dynamic link, I put “FileUploader’s value”, as shown in the example provided by Zeroqode.
- Then, I want to save that content inside a thing. Therefore I “Make changes to a thing” and store “FileManager’s content” inside the field that I want to.
→ First small complaint: It would be nice if we could access the content with “Result of step X’s content”, instead of having to look for the FileManager.
But the actual bug is here: this does not work the first time I run it: the “content”, from “FileManager File’s content”, that is stored inside my Thing, is empty. However, it does work for the all the subsequent times: the “content” from “FileManager File’s content” stored inside my Thing, is indeed the content inside my uploaded .txt file. This is true when I use either FileUploader or Bubble’s plugin MultiFileUploader.
This does NOT happen, however, if the actions are NOT running subsequently. If I have a button “Read File”, which ONLY runs the action “Read file Content FileManager”, and another button “Store File Content” which runs “Make changes to a thing” with “FileManager’s content” in a field, it does work as intended.
The other features that I’ve tested, such as downloading a .txt file, seem to work as intended.
Can someone clarify what’s going on here and possibly fix this bug?
Here are a few screenshots:
Spoiler alert: The testfile.txt is not actually empty.
Thanks!
