Adding content: Failed to create content due to error

[maximus007]

Hello all,

I am playing with the latest SVN of Alfresco Community (current build 19471).

When I try to add content using the web interface, it seems to work, saying that the content has been uploaded. However, upon pressing "OK" to save the content I receive the following error:

Failed to create content due to error: str parameter is mandatory ‍

The debug output gives the following warning:

ERROR [ui.common.Utils] Failed to create content due to error: str parameter is mandatory
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: str parameter is mandatory

Uploading via FTP or CIFS works as expected.

Any idea how to fix this, or do I just have to wait for the final release?

Let me just say that yes, I know I am dealing with the bleding edge. The only reason I have gone to SVN is because of the CIFS authentication issue present in 3.2r2.

"Updating" a file works fine, it is just uploading new content which is problematic.
