Copy File & Move File not returning

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by tyson_ETC 10

I have been beating my head against the wall over this.

 

I have a file location is /DocumentLib/New

I want to move it to /DocumentLib

 

I made a super simple flow, the problem is that both Copy file and Move file never return.  The file gets moved but none of the next blox in my flow get run.  It doesnt seem to timeout or anything.Capture.PNGCapture2.PNG

I have the same question (0)

    I am pretty desperate now.

     

    I left it run for 5h without it completing.  The file was already moved and the flow just spins in the Move File state without completing, no errors nothing.

     

    One interesting thing is that I tried the Copy File (depreciated) block and it worked as I would expect. Can anyone suggest anything?  I need to have this flow done tomorrow very badly.

    Hi @tyson_ETC,

     

    I did a test on my side and confirmed the problem you mentioned.

    When I use Copy file action, Flow is executed and the file is successfully copied to the expected location, but Flow is always displayed as Running.
