listFolderBuilder returns hasMore = true, but listFolderContinue returns 0 entries

Hi all,

See subject. This behaviour appears to be new (started happening in the last 24h) and I believe is different the description in the documentation:

> hasMore - If true, then there are more entries available. Pass the cursor to DbxUserFilesRequests.listFolderContinue(String) to retrieve the rest.

Is this behaviour correct? I am using Java SDK 2.1.1.

Thanks,

Stephen

Thanks! This generally shouldn't be very common, but it is possible and expected sometimes. The listFolder[Continue] interface doesn't guarantee a non-zero number of results (due to various aspects of how the backend is implemented), so it is possible to get empty pages like this. You should have your app handle these normally, e.g., looping over the entries to process them, which would just result in 0 iterations in this case. Apologies for the confusion!

Thanks for the report. To clarify, when you call listFolderContinue, does that response also have hasMore = true?

No, the second request has entries = 0 & hasMore = false.
