Issue

The methode for updating Metadata in SharePoint does not support nested files (unlike Microsoft Graph API)

Expected behavior

After uploading a file to SharePoint using this methode

public void uploadFile(String fileName, byte[] fileContent) {
        graphClient
                .sites(sharePointParameters.getSiteId())
                .drives(sharePointParameters.getDriveId())
                .root()
                .itemWithPath(sharePointParameters.getFolderPath() + "/" + fileName)
                .content()
                .buildRequest()
                .put(fileContent);
    }

Being able to update metadata of the uploaded file via this methode

public void updateMetaData(String fileName, String testMetadataId) {
        FieldValueSet fields = new FieldValueSet();
        fields.additionalDataManager().put("testMetadataId",
                new JsonPrimitive(testMetadataId));

        graphClient
                .sites(sharePointParameters.getSiteId())
                .drives(sharePointParameters.getDriveId())
                .root()
                .itemWithPath(sharePointParameters.getFolderPath() + "/" + fileName)
                .listItem()
                .fields()
                .buildRequest()
                .patch(fields);
    }

Actual behavior

While the upload function works well, the update metadata method return 404:Not found

When testing the same API via postman https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{site-id}}/drives/{{drive-id}}/root:/{{folder-path}}/{{filename}}:/listItem/fields to add metadata, it works fine with the same URL and on the same file.

After investigation, we found that if we upload the file directly into the documents drive, the updating metadata works fine, while in a nested folder with the path sharePointParameters.getFolderPath() + "/" + fileName it does not work

Here is the code that works:

public void uploadFile(String fileName, byte[] fileContent) {
        graphClient
                .sites(sharePointParameters.getSiteId())
                .drives(sharePointParameters.getDriveId())
                .root()
                .itemWithPath(fileName)
                .content()
                .buildRequest()
                .put(fileContent);
    }

public void updateMetaData(String fileName, String testMetadataId) {
        FieldValueSet fields = new FieldValueSet();
        fields.additionalDataManager().put("testMetadataId",
                new JsonPrimitive(testMetadataId));

        graphClient
                .sites(sharePointParameters.getSiteId())
                .drives(sharePointParameters.getDriveId())
                .root()
                .itemWithPath(fileName)
                .listItem()
                .fields()
                .buildRequest()
                .patch(fields);
    }

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Framework Springboot 2.6.7

Used libraries microsoft-graph 5.0.0, azure-identity 1.11.0

Context After authentication via azure-identity, we are using microsoft graph api via Java SDK to upload file to SharePoint then adding metadata to it.

Thanks for raising this @MalekSmida . Have you tried testing the same on sdk version 6?
