Uploading multiple files with UploadSession with TypeScript
Hi, I'm facing an issue with the UploadSessionFinishBatch method with TypeScript. I'm having this error : Error in call to API function \"files/upload_session/finish_batch\": request body: entries...
Thanks for writing this up! This does seem to be a bug in the SDK. The UploadSessionFinishArg type has a 'contents' field because it's how you supply the data if/when calling filesUploadSessionFinish (not the batch version), where it gets set as the request body, but it's not actually needed or expected for filesUploadSessionFinishBatch. I'll ask the team to fix this up.
Similarly, in this case you should just be setting the file data on UploadSessionStartArg itself, not UploadSessionCursor or CommitInfo. Those definitions are also wrong, so I'll ask the team to fix that too.
As a workaround though, it looks like you can do the following after defining each of these:
delete cursor.contents delete commitInfo.contents delete finishSessionArg.contents

Thank you, for your reply it does work as a workaround. Can you please keep me informed when this is fixed ?

Yes, I'll follow up here once I have an update on this. I can't promise when that will be though.

The team has updated the SDK to no longer set 'contents' as required in the latest JavaScript SDK version, v9.7.0, so you should be able to use this as expected without the workaround now.
