Dropbox Python SDK 2.2.0 bug: commit_chunked_upload ?

Issue:  dropbox keep ignoring the first folder when committing a chunked upload:

After chunked uploading completed, commit the file by:

response = self.dropbox_client.commit_chunked_upload('/backup/docs.zip', upload_id, False)
remote_path = response['path']

My understanding was remote_path in the response should be same as the full_path I passed: ‘/backup/docs.zip’, however, the remote_path is: ‘docs.zip’. form client.py /commit_chunked_upload:

The full path to which the chunks are uploaded, *including the file name*.
If the destination folder does not yet exist, it will be created.

full path with filename, and it’ll be used by:

url, params, headers = self.request("/commit_chunked_upload/%s" % full_path,
                                    params, content_server=True)

a http request to : /commit_chunked_upload//backup/docs.zip will be sent. however, the actual server url is:

https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/commit_chunked_upload/auto/<path>

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#commit-chunked-upload

Solution / workaround

1. fix the SDK :
Following CheckedUpload class,  the commit url can be generated by:

path = “/commit_chunked_upload/%s%s” % (self.client.session.root, format_path(path))

2. add ‘auto’ in the front of the remote path:

response = self.dropbox_client.commit_chunked_upload('auto/' + remote_path, upload_id, False)

Apache Cordova: Package/Build iOS/Andorid App from Polymer HTML5 Project

Requirement: Build iOS/Android app using existing Polymer project.

Solution:

There’re lots of tools/platforms to build an app from HTML5 project, such as Trigger.io, Intel XDK, PhoneGap, Apache Cordova. I choosed Cordova to build my first html app;

1. Install Apache Cordova by npm:

   $ sudo npm install -g cordova

2. Create a Cordova project using cordova CLI;

   $ cordova create hello com.liguoliang.app HelloWorld

3. Navigate to the project folder, add platform:

   $ cordova platform add ios/android

4. Build project:

   $ cordova build

5. Emulate the app:

   $ cordova emulate ios/andorid

Note: It is required to install Xcode or Android SDK/Tools for simulating.  you may follow the Cordova CLI message to installed the required sdk/tool.

七月

来新加坡三年整了。回头看看只能感慨一句光阴似箭。

三年前的春天，吃完午饭散步时，老板认真的说，如果有机会，趁年轻去国外工作一段时间也不错，会让你站在新的角度看问题。 那是个和煦的春天，我似懂非懂的笑了笑。 几个月后大家各奔前程，他回了美国，我来了岛国。每次换工作，他都会在linked上发信息给我， 三年很快就过去了，这是我离开上海后的第三份工作。

脑海里依稀记得有句关于旅游的矫情的话：遇到别处／另一个的自己。相比旅游，我更多的是在工作中看到平时自己没有觉察到的自己。 或是因为语言而寡言，或是因为面子而逞强，或是因为畏惧而退缩，在不断的切换工作中，不断把自己丢向一个陌生的环境，很多时候我觉得自己不够平和，或许并不是因为自己走的路不够多，也许只是因为不够自信。一个人得走过多少路，才能从容淡定的面对一切？我希望我所有的努力都在通向这道路，平凡，朴素，从容。或许不需要努力，只需要变老。

我前所未有的感觉到自己需要做很多事情，需要适应新工作，需要考驾照，需要实现我的很多小想法，还需要跟我喜欢的人享受生活跟庸俗。时间太少，想法太多。
