Bug Report: Error: unexpected HTTP status (only on Android)

[felipejncc]

# I'm getting the error Error: unexpected HTTP status when trying to write any file on Android. I've used the instructions to install the plugin, but I'm not able to find what i'm doing wrong...

this is my code:

await writeFile({
          directory: FilesystemDirectory.External,
          path: `archives/${name}`,
          data: file,
          fallback: err => {
            console.error(err);
            return false;
          }
})

where ${name} is 3b4eaae1-a855-4161-9fd3-d0fe165dd27a.pdf and file is a Blob which was obtained via http request.

Also, the directory archives was created at the app initialization.

I'm using: @capacitor/android 2.2.1 @capacitor/core 2.2.1 @capacitor/ios 2.2.1 ionic 5 angular 8 android emulator (Android 11, API 30)

In iOS works fine.

This is what I get in Chrome's console:

---

And This is what I get in logcat:

Interesting! I have only tested this with FilesystemDirectory.Data, so I will need to have a look at this.

[diachedelic]

Does it work if you use Filesystem.writeFile instead?

This is the error:

2020-08-01 04:59:17.317 32318-9786/com.app E/Capacitor/BlobWriter: failed to move file into place

Possibly a permissions issue?

[felipejncc]

It doesn't work with Filesystem.writeFile neither and it is due to a permissions issue.

I think, when the option path is set to an absolute url, Filesystem has those issues in android, even if the permission was granted.

Hmm! If you get the time, could you please create an issue with capacitor? When it is fixed for Filesystem.writeFile, I will copy their solution for this plugin.

[felipejncc]

Of course. I'll be doing the corresponding tests for submit the issue with all the necessary info.

In my case, this works with Filesystem.writeFile where this plugin fails. So I am pretty sure it has to be fixed here first.

I will send a PR if i could find the root issue.

@thesayyn That would be much appreciated!
