File does not exist - List Rows present in a table - But it does exist!! 😡

Hi Everyone,

 

I've been really struggling with a flow component that keeps on failing with the error that the file does not exist. Even though the two previous steps before it, just successfully did their steps in the exact file.

 

The path is correct, the name of the file is correct, in the error shows the exact path and file name of where the file is, yet it says file does not exist. I've been banging my head on this for hours. I even did a get file (properties), and then put in a condition to validate that the file exists, then if the file exists, carry on the flow steps.

In that test it validated the condition as TRUE, but the 'List Rows Present in a Table' step still bombs out with the error that the file does not exist.

 

Its driving me bonkers! Making me rage, the file exists, you can see it, I can see it, the steps before you saw it, what's the problem buddy!!

The previous steps create a table, the EDI Input table is created as EDI_Input (verified as working), this is the table I'm trying to list the rows of in the step that keeps failing as it cant find the file.

Any guidance or steps to try would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @Weggs 

     

    You could try passing the table name dynamically from the create table action as shown below:

    That did help with another issue I was experiencing, but I still have the same issue with the file does not exist.

    I had another similar issue, putting a 45 second delay gave the MS cloud programs a chance to catchup, this may resolve this issue for other, I can not confirm as I ended up changing the flow from SharePoint to OneDrive to try and work around this issue, but ended up in the exact same place, the 45 second delay resolved that for me.
