Shared Links in SwiftyDropbox broken?

Mark L.45

Running this function using SwiftyDropbox! Was working well til this morning, now it returns nothing useful, just the reply that the link already exists, and when I try and get the link... it returns nil.

 

Did see a post saying this functionality is broken right now. I hope not the case cause it is a single point of failure in my project!

 

Without shared links I am dead in the water.

 

func sharing_create_linkV2(sourcePath: String, posIndex: Int, group2join: DispatchGroup) {

        print("sharing_create_linkV2 \(sourcePath)")

        let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!

        _ = client.sharing.createSharedLinkWithSettings(path: sourcePath).response(queue: DispatchQueue(label: "MyCustomSerialQueue")) { response, error in

            //_ = client.files.listFolder(path:sourcePath).response(queue: DispatchQueue(label: "MyCustomSerialQueue")) { response, error in

            if let response = response {

                group2join.leave()

                //print(Thread.current)  // Output: <NSThread: 0x61000007bec0>{number = 4, name = (null)}

                //print(Thread.main)     // Output: <NSThread: 0x608000070100>{number = 1, name = (null)}

                print("\(response.url) \(posIndex)")

                sharedDataAccess.fnLink(index2seek: posIndex, fnLink: response.url)

                sharedDataAccess.fnPos(index2seek: posIndex, fnPos: posIndex)

                

            } else {

                print("error \(error)")

                // error [request-id 4da78c6dd1e2c15fad08659eca204725] API route error - {

                //".tag" = "shared_link_already_exists";

                _ = client.sharing.getSharedLinkFile(url: sourcePath).response(queue: DispatchQueue(label: "MyCustomSerialQueue")) { response, error in

                    group2join.leave()

                    print("fcuk1510 data \(sourcePath) \(response?.0) \(response?.1 ) \(posIndex)")

                    sharedDataAccess.fnLink(index2seek: posIndex, fnLink: response?.0)

                    sharedDataAccess.fnPos(index2seek: posIndex, fnPos: posIndex)

                }

            }

        }

        

    }

Hi Mark, the known issue it sounds like you're refrrring to is an unexpected 403 error from /1/view links, which isn't related to the code you shared.

 

It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected result from getSharedLinkFile. You don't seem to be checking the error for that call in your code though. Can you print that out?

 

Also, for reference, if you're trying to get the existing shared link for a particular path, you should use listSharedLinks with path as the path to the file or folder and direct=true. The getSharedLinkFile method method takes a shared URL, not a path, and gives a download for the linked file. This is likely what the issue is, as it appears you're passing a path to this method.
