SwiftDropbox too many write operations when writing 4 files
Hi there, I'm using the SwiftyDropbox library to upload files to Dropbox in an iOS app (Swift). I have a loop where I initiate uploads for 4 files:
for filePath in filePaths {
let fileUrl: URL!...

Thanks I didn't think to look at the test cases! For future reference for other users looking for the same, here's the version of my Swift code adapted from the test that works:
var filesCommitInfo = [URL : Files.CommitInfo]() for filePath in filePaths { let fileUrl: URL! = URL(string: "file://\(filePath)") let uploadToPath = "/\(fileUrl.lastPathComponent)" filesCommitInfo[fileUrl] = Files.CommitInfo(path: uploadToPath, mode: Files.WriteMode.overwrite) } self.dropboxClient!.files.batchUploadFiles( fileUrlsToCommitInfo: filesCommitInfo, responseBlock: { (uploadResults: [URL: Files.UploadSessionFinishBatchResultEntry]?,
finishBatchRequestError: CallError<Async.PollError>?,
fileUrlsToRequestErrors: [URL: CallError<Async.PollError>]) -> Void in if let uploadResults = uploadResults { for (clientSideFileUrl, result) in uploadResults { switch(result) { case .success(let metadata): let dropboxFilePath = metadata.pathDisplay! print("Upload \(clientSideFileUrl.absoluteString) to \(dropboxFilePath) succeeded") case .failure(let error): print("Upload \(clientSideFileUrl.absoluteString) failed: \(error)") } } } else if let finishBatchRequestError = finishBatchRequestError { print("Error uploading file: possible error on Dropbox server: \(finishBatchRequestError)") } else if fileUrlsToRequestErrors.count > 0 { print("Error uploading file: \(fileUrlsToRequestErrors)") } })PS Greg I've been browsing the forums lately and you seem to be everywhere, answering people's questions with unlimited patience and kindness. Just wanted to say you're a superstar, thanks
