Hi Team, i wanted to know about how do we give the path of the file that in the file store of the project that is synced with github.
I want to pass the file path (As we used to do for the attachments ) in my code snippet.
Currently , when i am reading the file from the file store using the code from the Documentation , it says me to get the filepath from it and returns a amazon service link.
But it is not valid for long time and hence i am not able to pass that link .
To work with files in a Pipedream File Store and sync them with GitHub, you’ll need to follow a two-step process. First, you’ll download the file from the File Store to the /tmp directory within your workflow. Then, you’ll upload or sync this file to GitHub. Here’s a general approach to achieve this: 1. Download the file from the File Store: Use the $.files helper to download the file to the /tmp directory. This step is necessary because the direct link to the file in the File Store is temporary and not suitable for long-term access or sharing. 2. Upload the file to GitHub: After downloading the file to the /tmp directory, use the GitHub API to upload or sync this file with your GitHub repository. Below is an example Pipedream component code that demonstrates these steps: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform" export default defineComponent({ props: { github: { type: "app", app: "github", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Step 1: Download the file from the File Store to the /tmp directory // Assuming you know the path of the file in the File Store const filePath = `/tmp/your-file-name`; await $.files.download({ path: `path/to/your/file/in/file/store`, directory: `/tmp`, filename: `your-file-name`, }); // Step 2: Upload the file to GitHub // Replace 'your-repo', 'path/in/repo', and 'your-commit-message' with your values const repo = 'your-repo'; const pathInRepo = 'path/in/repo'; const commitMessage = 'your-commit-message'; const content = await $.files.read(filePath, { encoding: "base64" }); return await axios($, { method: "PUT", url: `https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/contents/${pathInRepo}`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "X-GitHub-Api-Version": `2022-11-28`, }, data: { message: commitMessage, content: content, }, }); }, }); Please adjust the filePath, repo, pathInRepo, and
To access a file that is in the File Store from a workflow within the same project, you should use the $.files helper within Node.js code steps. The path to use for the file depends on the filename you’ve stored in the File Store. Here’s a basic example of how you might access a file named example.txt: ```
const fileContent = await $.files.read(‘example.txt’);

For working with files in Python on Pipedream, you should use the /tmp directory for storing and retrieving files. This directory is accessible from your workflow steps for saving and retrieving files. You have full access to read and write both files in /tmp. Here’s an example of how you can work with files in this directory: def handler(pd: "pipedream"): # Writing to a file in the /tmp directory with open("/tmp/myfile.txt", "w") as file: file.write("Hello, world!") # Reading from a file in the /tmp directory with open("/tmp/myfile.txt", "r") as file: content = file.read() print(content) This code snippet demonstrates how to write to and read from a file located in the /tmp directory. Remember, this is the path you should use for files you wish to store temporarily as part of your workflow execution.
To work with a file stored in the /tmp directory and pass its path to a Python step in your Pipedream workflow, you can follow these steps: 1. Ensure the file is stored in the /tmp directory. This is the only writable directory available in Pipedream workflows. 2. In your Python step, you can access the file by specifying its path in the /tmp directory. Here’s an example Python code snippet that demonstrates how to read a file: def handler(pd: "pipedream"): # Define the path to your file in the /tmp directory file_path = "/tmp/yourfile.txt" # Open and read the file with open(file_path, "r") as file: content = file.read() # Print the content of the file or perform other actions print(content) # Return data for use in future steps (optional) return {"file_content": content} Remember, the /tmp directory is accessible from your workflow steps for saving and retrieving files, and you have full access to read and write both files in /tmp. This approach allows you to work with files in Python steps within Pipedream workflows effectively.
