PowerBuilder and GetAttributes not firing attribut (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)

by fundementals, Monday, September 14, 2009, 20:35 (5329 days ago)

I'm using PowerBuilder 10.5 and WodFtpDLX V2.9.6. I am successfully using the dll in a production environment to Connect, disconnect, Makedir, putfile, getfile and Listdir.

When I try GetAttributes or GetSize, with parameters or without, the attribute event is not being fired, but the done event is being fired with errorcode of 0 (success).

I can't see why the attribute event is not being fired, unless I need a IwodFtpNotify object. (and I don't know how to get it) Does anyone have any ideas?

In fact, I'm only trying to confirm a particular file exists, is there an easier way of doing it?

Incidentally, I'm working with Blocking off.

Cheers

Charles

Hi Charles,


How big is file you want to check using GetAttributes Method? If you are retrieving information for files larger than 4.2GB you should use Attributes64 Event.

Did you check other Events maybe? For example Connected Event and StateChange Event. If Done Event works I don't see why other Events shouldn't.

Let us know how it goes.

I have a debugging system that outputs to a file every event that is fired, a copy of the file is shown here.

25:Checking file or folder attributes.
done event 4 3 OK
Starting ue_next_done
End of GetSize
4:Connected to server - idle.
disconnected triggered

I have edited out some of the files that came through when listitems was run.

The lines that start with a number and a colon are the statechange event.
Connected 0 is connected without errorcode and relates to event 'connected'
listitems triggered relates to event listitems
Beforeviewchange triggered relates to event Beforeviewchange
Actionviewchange triggered relates to event Actionviewchange
done event 4 1 OK means the done event was fired, the state was 4, it was finishing the 1st command and the errorcode was 0
disconnected triggered relates to event disconnected

The Start of GetSize has a state change to 25 Checking file or folder attributes, and then goes straight to the done event. Both the Attribute event and the attribute64 event should have produced lines in this log if they had run.

The other lines in the file relate to PowerBuilder, ue_next_done, is triggered from the done event and 'Start of' and 'End of' are indications of what happens next.

I hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Charles

I have changed the password you see and shortened the results from listitems.

Charles,


I'm sorry but I see in your log only commands that is send to server (Command variable output). We need also server reply. Output from FtpReply Event ReplyText variable.

Can you please remove all other logging and send us only Command and ReplyText variable output from Ftpreply Event.

Hi

It looks like ftpreply.replytext contains the information I require. I don't know why attributes and attributes64 are not firing, but I will work on the basis of the replytext.

Thank you,

Cheers

Charles

Charles,


We tried debugging this, but couldn't figure this out. The Event is riggered, and all the code processed, but PB doesn't raise notification for it.

However, why don't you try using DirItems collection instead? DirItems collection is populated when ListDir is executed, and contains the same arguments, such as Size, permissions etc...

Here is example in VB
[code]...
dlx1.Blocking = True
dlx1.Connect

dlx1.ListDir /home/somefolder

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To dlx1.DirItems.Count - 1
If dlx1.DirItems(i).Name = filename.txt Then
Debug.Print dlx1.DirItems(i).Name & - Size: & dlx1.DirItems(i).Size
End If
Next i[/code]
