I do not think name should be an issue. There must be something else causing that.Have you uploaded using alfresco UI? or through API?

I tried with both NodeService and as well as using Share UI. Both giving me the same error.

Whereas all other files with different names works perfectly fine.

What is the content inside your metadata.json file? If you create a new file with a different name and adding the same content to it, does it work?

Try creating a new file metadata.json file adding some dummy content to it and see if that works for you or not?

This may give you hints about what is causing the issue? Ideally, file name shouldn't be an issue.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

I tested with content "test" but still facing the same error. The test file has only one line and one word "test". I uploaded the file using Share UI.
