How to get team root folder by SwiftyDropbox?
Hi Dropbox Forum,
I want to get team root folder by SwiftyDropbox. but fail.
this is what I do
1.Set .plist file
2.Set AppKey in AppDelegate
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("xxxxxxx")
3.authorization(use team account login)
if let _ = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedTeamClient {
DropboxClientsManager.unlinkClients()
}
if let _ = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient {
DropboxClientsManager.unlinkClients()
}
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared,
controller: self,
openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: {success in
if success{
print("Open URL success")
}else{
print("Open URL fail")
}
})
})
4. then in AppDelegate
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any]) -> Bool
let oauthCompletion: DropboxOAuthCompletion = {
if let authResult = $0 {
switch authResult {
case .success:
print("Success! User is logged into DropboxClientsManager.")
let a = client?.users.getCurrentAccount()
a?.response(completionHandler: { user, error in
print("user:\(user), error: \(error)")
print("accountType:\(user?.accountType)")
print("rootNamespaceId:\(user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId)")
})
case .cancel:
print("Authorization flow was manually canceled by user!")
case .error(_, let description):
print("Error: \(String(describing: description))")
let hud = MBProgressHUD.showAdded(to: UIApplication.shared.keyWindow!, animated: true)
hud.label.text = "Login failed"
hud.hide(animated: true, afterDelay: 1)
}
}
}
DropboxClientsManager.handleRedirectURL(url, completion: oauthCompletion)
5. Set a button to listFolder
I see this post "Using the Dropbox-API-Path-Root Header", but don't know how to set it in SwiftyDropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/dbx-team-files-guide#namespaces
func getList(){
let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId("xxxxxx"))//root_namespace_id get from oauthCompletion
client?.users.getCurrentAccount().response(completionHandler: {user, error in print("user:\(user) error:\(error)")})
client?.files.listFolder(path: filePath ,includeMountedFolders: true).response(completionHandler: {response, error in
if response?.entries != nil{
self.parseDropboxEntries(entries: response!.entries)
}
})
}
it show error and can't list folder:
Spoiler
user:nil error:Optional(Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 "cancelled" UserInfo={NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://api.dropbox.com/2/users/get_current_account, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://api.dropbox.com/2/users/get_current_account, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=(
"LocalDataTask <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.<1>"
), _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.<1>, NSLocalizedDescription=cancelled})
Can anyone help me ? thank you
Thank you!
We solved the problem of setting "withPathRoot" by SwiftyDropbox.
For other people has the same problem, I record what I do here.
I set class variable as you said(Most important).
var dropboxClient:DropboxClient?login then do those things
dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient dropboxClient?.users.getCurrentAccount().response(completionHandler: {user, error in let rootNamespaceId = user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId if rootNamespaceId != nil{ self.dropboxClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId(user?.rootInfo.rootNamespaceId ?? "")) } self.dropboxClient?.files.listFolder(path: self.filePath).response(completionHandler: {response, error in //Parse if response?.entries != nil{ self.parseDropboxEntries(entries: response!.entries) } }) })

I see you're using a 'client' object defined in your 'getList' method. It's possible this client object is going out of scope before the request finishes, which could cause this kind of failure. (API calls are made asynchronously, as they require network calls.) You should keep that client object in scope instead. For instance, you can save it as a variable in the relevant class itself.
For reference, using the withPathRoot method is the right way to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header in the Dropbox Swift SDK.
Thank for your reply.
If I open any Team Scopes and use DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController, When my app jump to the Dropbox app forauthorize, it will show error message.
SpoilerError loading app info
An unknow error occurred
If I close all Team Scopes and don't set withPathRoot.
let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient?.withPathRoot(.namespaceId("xxxxxx"))I can successful get "member folder" (purple) ,but I want to get "team folders" (blue)
Please tell me how to solve this error, thank you :sob:

The "Error loading app info" can occur if you attempt to request scopes that are not enabled for your app. It sounds like your app does not have team scopes enabled, so you should not request them.
You should use withPathRoot to access the team space though. Can you check that you are doing so, and that your "xxxxxx" value is the root namespace ID for the team space? What error/output are you getting for that now?
