Upload File/Images.

[lullis]

Right now there is no way to upload files/images to Parse through our library. We need to implement these functions on the File/Image data types.

[mamcx]

Any update on this? I see the file class, but not how upload the file

[lullis]

Nothing so far. Unfortunately I've been busy with many other projects to give attention to this one.

[fraserxiong]

Is there any example for updating a file/image by using ParsePy?

[jasontclark]

Has anyone made concessions on this feature of the library?

[tc14]

Is there any update on this? or any pointer or example using ParsePy?

[dgrtwo]

I'll try implementing this this weekend. But of course we'd welcome push requests if anyone else solves it.

[tc14]

@dgrtwo thanks for taking on this. Do you know any update on ACL/Roles support? it is listed as TODO/PLANNED action item in the ReadMe section. If there isn't any plan soon to implement this, do you have any recommendation on what is a good way/approach to do this?

[jellyfangs]

Facing this problem right now.

Anyone have hints on how to implement a solution?

I'm thinking reading from request.FILES and saving to Parse.File

[abhimanyu1289]

I had written code to upload images/mp3 files with md5 checksum support already after realizing ParsePy does not support file uploading. This works fine for me and is being used extensively by me. All I need to do is modify it a bit and integrate it into ParsePy and create a pull request. Can I someone give me some pointers on how to do this? I see ParsePy already supports File datatype but not for modifying it I think. Is this right?

[dgrtwo]

That's very interesting. If you're willing to share the code in a comment, I might be able to help you get it integrated. I got stuck on this a while back (and should have put more time into it).

[abhimanyu1289]

Spent some time diving into the code for the File class . I think we already have this functionality in place. The file class here already seems to be doing what I am doing. Can't we upload a file using the File class this way

file = File ('/home/user/test.mp3')
file.save()

I am a little lost here. looks like @dankrause already added File Support.

[dgrtwo]

Oh! I merged that pull request last month but somehow forgot (I guess I'd been associating it with a different problem). This one's on me, sorry I wasted your time.

I need to write documentation and tests for the feature before I close this issue. As discussed in the pull request the class could probably use improvement.

[hugoliv]

Hum, I have an issue using this #15.

2 different ways:

first

    #use local file
    fileParse = File(name="grab.jpg")
    fileParse.save()

return this (with many different image files): UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: ordinal not in range(128).

The error is raised in connexion.py (line 99-100): data = data.encode('utf-8')

second

    # use distant image file
    fileParse = File(name="image.jpg", url=url_file)
    # fileParse.save() # save no needed

see attached. One click on the object in the table shows an xml file in the browser:

  ```<Error>
  <Code>AccessDenied</Code>
 <Message>Access Denied</Message>
 <RequestId>.....</RequestId>
 <HostId>.....</HostId>
 </Error>```

Do I miss something ?

[dankrause]

Yeah, it looks like the file upload code was never tested with binary files. I'll see if I can put something together tonight that properly encodes binary files before uploading.

[MasterGroosha]

Any improvements?

[treeguard]

For me, I just remove the encode("ut8-8") in connexion.py (line 99-100): data = data.encode('utf-8') to data = data and then it works

[mariusmuntean]

Hi,

I also get the error UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) but in my code data = data.encode('utf-8') is on line 111 in connection.py

Any suggestions would be cool.

[treeguard]

Actually, you need to modify 2 lines in connection.py. 1) line 111. from data = data.encode('utf-8') to data = data; 2) line 120. from request = Request(url, data, headers) to request = Request(url.encode('utf-8'), data, headers)

hope it works for you.

[mariusmuntean]

@treeguard you were right. Making those two changes did the trick. Thanks!

[konoufo]

Doesn't this need a PR for a clean integration into the library ?

[konoufo]

I suggest passing a keyword argument into the class method POST through File save method when dealing with binaries. Something like no_encoding = True; And then a simple check will bypass encoding only with binaries.

[MasterGroosha]

@konoufo Parse is going to be closed in 6 months. Do we really need this PR now?

[konoufo]

Other Parse Server hostings might support this.

@konoufo Which ones, for example?

[konoufo]

Maybe Sashido or back4app; did not read all the docs but well it's a possibility.
