File upload?

[saschafoerster]

Does file upload work? Maybe I am not able to transmit the binary from a former node or maybe it is just not working? I wonder that there is not field to enter or link the name of the binary.

When I try to upload, I get error 500:

NodeApiError: The service was not able to process your request

It's probably not implemented :(
Tbh. I got sidetracked with other issues and now my lexoffice trial has run out, I've lost access to the API :) I hope to get around to working on it further....

Ah, sad. I guess it's one of the most interesting functions of them all. :) At least for me. I now have a workaround by sending them via mail to another service, that uploads PDFs to LexOffice.
For the API, there is no problem: i regularly created new test-accounts, even with the same e-mail-adress, for testing-purposes. There is no real limit in testing (just everything will be reset, so there are no old files or clients in LexOffice)

oh that's good to know! In that case I'll make sure to carve out some time to look into it.

I just published v0.1.3, which hopefully has a working file upload now... let me know if it works for you

What service have you used?

I integrated it today and it works perfectly fine 🥳

As reference, this is how I did it:

Thanks @flipswitchingmonkey for the integration!
