Wasabi folder from Bubble thing ID

Plugins
#1

Hi,
are you aware of any restriction in creating folders whose name is a bubble thing unique ID?
It works when I refer’s to “current user’s thing ID” but not for other expressions.
Please see image below.

I’ve also tried storing the element (Task’s ID) in an element state as text…but still the plugin doesn’t create folders.

Hi @david.m, thanks for your message.

Currently, there are no restrictions on folder naming, besides the one mentioned by the Wasabi platform: Working with Buckets and Objects

I would recommend

  • trying to display obtained path in a text element, to see if it contains all required values
  • include “Only when” condition, “Folder name is not empty”
  • between step 2 and step with create folder action to insert a step with short pause, so it will have enough time for proper registration.

Hope these hints will help. In case the issue will persist, please let me know.

Regards,

Hi Serg,

thank you for your direction.
The issue was a tiny " " (1 blank character) space at the beginning of the Location sintax…apparently this was preventing bubble from creating the subfolder named after the Task’s unique ID.
Now, the folder gets created correctly.

BUT, the issue I have now is that files won’t get uploaded in the correct folder via workflow (“Upload event”). They Location specified under the S3 element itself overrides any other instruction given via workflow.
Tried not having any location path on S3 element itself, yet the workflow can’t command the plugin.

PS: even the guy in this tutorial says the same at min 7:31 External Storage in Bubble Using Wasabi Pt 2/3 - Bubble.io Tutorial - YouTube

Imho, I think this is a bug.

Hi @david.m, thanks for your reply, and glad to hear that the previous problem has been solved.

Please check if the “Upload” action has the “Redefine Fields” value Yes, it will change the priority for the path address to the upload action.
