Checkout file on Sharepoint with HTTP request

[MarcoS]

Hi,

I am trying to checkout a file on Sharepoint with a HTTP request:

When I try to run the Flow, I get the error: "Specified value is not supported for the serverRelativeUrl parameter"

The path 'Features/test.xlsx' should be correct. If I look at the file in Sharepoint I see the URL:

https://**site**.sharepoint.com/sites/ertlsrvts04/04/Features/test.xlsx

I hope somebody can help

Thanks,

Marco

Hi @MarcoS ,

Try CheckOut(). It's case sensitive.

[MarcoS]

Nop is also not working.

Hi @MarcoS 

I did tested this and worked for me.

Here /aj/ is my document library name.

In your case _api/web/getFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Features/test.xlsx')/CheckOut()

Try this and let me know.

Hi @MarcoS 

Features is your document library? Also could you please post your flow screenshot again.

Thanks

[MarcoS]

Yes Features is my document library

Hi @MarcoS 

Thanks for the reply.

I can see from the site address you have site address with sites/ertlsrvts04/04

May I ask you what is ertlsrvts04 and 04?

This is something to do with that Uri which is not right at the moment.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know where that URL stands for but it is working. if change the URL I also get a warning that it cannot find the website. So this is correct. I can also see this URL when I go the properties of a file on that Sharepoint environment.

Thanks.

Hi @MarcoS 

What I meant is ertlsrvts04  is a sitecollection? Also what is 04? Is that another subsite?

If you could explain the above then I could recreate in my environment and see what the issue is.

Thanks

Hi @MarcoS ,

Have you tried to use Check out file action?

Best Regards,

[MarcoS]

I tried to configure it but is asks for an ID. It is not possible to just select a file on Sharepoint?

[MarcoS]

Hi,

Ertlsrvts04 is sitecollection

04 is a subsite

Greets,

Marco

Hi @MarcoS 

Thanks @v-bacao-msft  for pointing out the checkout action.

@MarcoS  please follow the below steps.

I have created a sitecollection called ajteamsite and subsite as 04. Then created a document library called Features.

Test Result

Here is the SharePoint checkout file

If you need further help please let me know.

Hi,

Yes this works perfectly if I use a hardcoded path to the file. 

The path to the file is:

/WerkdocumentenCI/A_PROJECTEN_MARCO/Workforcetotaalnieuweopzet_excel 2019-09-02.xlsx

The strange this is that when I use a variable with the exact same path as above in it, it doesnt work. I get an error:
