The resource could not be found.

I have a flow that has been running for a year with no issues. Then last week it suddenly failed and I got the error 'The resource could not be found.'
I have checked the source file exists (it does) and if I edit the flow and re-enter the exact same file it will run successfully.
So I save it and then the next day it fails again.
The file it uses is created every day at 1:00am, and its a csv 2ith 2 columns and 1 row.

What would cause it to give me the 'Resource not found' error all of a sudden?

thanks

Hello @CYT_Dev,

Get file content requires a file ID. If you look at "peek code" you will see that a file id is where you picked the file. This ID is normally provided by previous steps (like "list files" or something like that). I think this ID changes if you create this file again every day.

Try to use "Get file content using path" instead.

Hi,

The #1 and #2 and #3 reasons for this

1. Permissions have changed and you don't realize it. Try to go to the file and click it etc based on the Credentials running the flow

2. The file has changed locations. our brain and eyeballs fool us and we swear it hasn't but it has

3. The file name has changed. Again our brain and eyeballs fool us and we swear it hasn't but it has

Cheers

Thanks for sharing detailed explanation. In my case, #1 reason initiated failure. I did change credential for that particular step based on previous steps.
