[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-2216) PutFile doesn't create missing directories specified as part of the filename attribute

["Joseph Witt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2216?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15380843#comment-15380843 ] 

Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-2216:
-----------------------------------

[~randerzander] In UpdateAttribute you need to set both the 'path' attribute and the 'filename' attribute.  For your example if you want to write to the directory 'put/stuff/here' then set the path to that.  And if you want files to have the name of say the current uuid and ending in text then set 'filename' to '${uuid}.txt'.

From the output you show it is clear that the 'filename' value was set to 'service-health/${filename}' most likely.  This is seen by the '.' preceding the service-health entry which is PutFile writing to a temporary filename but this will fail because the / would be invalid.  It also looks like the 'Directory' was set to '/Users/randy/demos/consul/data/'

Creating directories does otherwise appear to work well.

So, the idea would be to use UpdateAttribute to set the 'path' as you want it and the 'filename' (which is a basename only) then in the processor configuration you can set the directory to '${path}' and be good to go.

I'll go ahead and close the ticket but if I've misunderstood please advise.

Thanks

> Create the following flow:

> Expected Behavior:
> PutFile creates "non-existant-dir" as a subdirectory in "/Users/randy/demos/data"
> Observed Behavior:
