Upload to folder fails - Cannot call createNode of Null

[shikarishambu]

I am trying to upload a file into a folder that is below the company home folder. How do I upload a file to a folder that is one or two levels below the company_home?

upload = companyhome.childByNamePath("/Inbox/").createNode("upload" + "_" + filename,"mymodel:doc", props) ;
upload.properties.content.write(content);
 upload.properties.encoding = "UTF-8";
upload.save();
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here Inbox is a folder below the companyhome. This code fails with the following error

 Cannot call method "createNode" of null
‍‍‍

TIA

Probably Mozilla Rhino can't get the instance of that parent node reference because you have wrong the path value.
If you have a subspace named Inbox in the Company Home try to use this path:

Inbox‍

In this way:

upload = companyhome.childByNamePath("Inbox").createNode("upload" + "_" + filename,"mymodel:doc", props) ;
upload.properties.content.write(content);
upload.properties.encoding = "UTF-8";
upload.save();
‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps.

No, it does not work. Please do not try to guess the solution. If you have tried and it works then post it.

1) I have done uploads like this. Openpj's response is not a guess.

2) It might be best if you used the Javascript debugger to find out what is happening with the code that you wrote, rather than trying to read your mind.

This is what worked for me "Inbox/."
